New symptom? Take it to your dealership, two years old should still be under warranty.

Low speed hard shifting? Over 15K miles? Take it to the dealer and have them update the transmission software and most importantly, clear the “transmission adaptations”. This should help fix this common issue with the ZF 9 speed.
