Default soft 2nd gear shift on 6speed auto

It seem like my car slips when shifting into 2nd gear under light throttle. Not sliping like the tranny is in neutral but a sluggish shift. under full throttle it shifts good. Should I worry?

Depends if its a 09 or later it's probably ok. There was an issue previous to that. have your dealer check the vin as show in theTSB
BTW mine is a later car and seems the same

My 06 did the same thing before the TCM was tuned. Is the soft shift present in Sport as well as Drive? I would check for a TSB as stated since there are some leaky seals (IIRC) but if there are no trans codes alerting your CEL, I wouldn't worry about it. I would suggest a really good trans tune (considering everything is well with the trans) it will really wake the car up
