06 Mountaineer harsh downshift

2006 Mercury Mountaineer V-8, 5 speed automatic trans:

Harsh downshift when coming to a stop.

Feels like someone is bumping into the back of you.

Happens after driving 15 or more miles upon 1st stop.

No computer codes present.

Any ideas?

2006, that should still be under warranty, right, unless you have a lot of miles on it. Have you addressed your concern with the dealer?

The 5-speed auto has had its share of shift solenoid issues, but I thought Ford had them fixed for the 2006 model year.
