One other issue I thought I'd share:

From a cold start I have noticed that :
I drive off in 1st gear in normal "D" mode, and the vehicle then changes to 2nd gear....as soon as it has shifted, the rev counter jumps to around 2500 rpm as I give more gas as if it is slipping a gear and then suddenly drops down to the revs that 2nd gear would start with??...and then drives normal.....anyone else get this??
