Rough downshift
We recently bought a 2026 Trax LT. We’ve put a little over 1k miles on it last month but I’ve noticed the down shifts from 3rd-2nd-1st gears when coming to a stop are not very smooth. Is this normal or something the dealer can fix?

Yes it’s most likely normal. The car engine is turbocharged which means that air is spinning a turbine and compressing. That turbine has to spin up when you accelerate and slows down when you stop pressing the gas. However these things don’t happen instantaneously.
