Also, I've noticed that when the car automatically downshifts, it's very rough and it seems to jerk forward quite a bit. Could this be a transmission issue? If so, what exactly is wrong and is it covered under warranty?

Had this problem on an older Z and it was the accelrator linkage sticking. Was able to fix it my apply lube to it. don't know for sure if this is what is causing it.
