I am doing my part in taking home our diagnostic computer every day, and doing flight records on my entire car while I drive.
It happens to me once every few weeks (2.4L & 5AT), usually after a 20 minute highway stint home, and then a quick dive into the 7-11 for my lotto tickets (aka "My Retirement Plan"). As I leave the store, the first 2-3 shift can be 'hard' and sudden. What I have been able to find so far is that the throttle is not being kicked down, but instead the car is allowing the revs to increase, as the transmission is shifting. Once 3rd engages, revs are high, and the results are neck-jarring. It is inconsistent, non-repeatable, and really frustrating, but we're working on it... hopefully more than a few techs elsewhere are able to also gather info, and we'll be able to submit our data and get this figured out.

This is exactly what is happening to my car. Thanks for continuing to work on it. I will be very happy when it can be fixed.
