New Jeep with hard downshift

[CivilJeep]

Traded in my 2019 JLUS for 2020 JLUS yesterday. Both Jeeps have the 2.0 and 8 speed automatic. Ive noticed that the new 20 has a fairly harsh 2-1 downshift, not something that was present in the 19. It still has under 100 miles, so I'm hoping its something that will smooth out, but I'm concerned. Anyone else experience this?

I had nearly the same problem with mine (2019 2.0/8 speed) when I drove it home. Mine was shifting very hard between 1/2/3 on both the upshift and downshifts. Only 18 miles when I picked it up, and about 100 miles when I got home from the dealer. On the second day of ownership it wouldn't shift out of park and had to be towed. There was a problem with the valve body in the tranny and they replaced the tranny to correct it. Haven't had a problem since.
