What’s it say?
Contact your Dealer first. I don't care for my dealer's service department. I am a 40 year ASE Master and unfortunately they are clueless. Need to get the regional rep involved I guess. I just don't have the time right now.

In a collision repair tech for 15 years and I’m well versed mechanics of automobiles and clearly something isn’t right with these transmissions.

I agree. No properly functioning transmission should ever make a sound like high centering on a rock when shifting into reverse.

I'm really of no help to you as I have a manual but I do want to add in that every 8-speed transmission I've ever owned was extremely unpredictable. Will it drop 4 gears or will it drop 2? Who knows! 😂 Hard shifts every so often, power not on demand at times.

I hated my camry's 8-speed, first gear was always too short and shift times sucked

I hate 8-speeds with a burning passion.

I'm honestly kind of relieved to hear it, as annoying as mine can be at times. This is my first vehicle to have more than 6 gears and it's been difficult to determine if it's just the nature of the 8AT to behave like this or if mine has potential issues. It sounds like mine is acting "normal" haha
