I'm not sure how to describe this issue from a technical standpoint, but the while traveling (usually accelerating) anywhere up to 50mph, the transmission seems to go into a low grumble gear. The RPMs hang around 1,800 and there's an irritating vibration. If you let off the gas, or speed up, it finds it proper gear and the vibration and noise go away. It occurs while in Econ and normal driving modes.
I can't seem to figure out what to do to reliably replicate the issue, but it happens on a daily basis. It does seem to happen when you're having to adjust your speed with traffic. If you're just cruising at a constant speed, it won't be doing it (though it may when you were accelerating to that speed until it shifted into another gear).
I've taken it to the dealer for this issue, but they couldn't replicate the problem. They told me to let them know if it keeps doing it and try to observe the weather, engine temperature, etc. I've taken it in a second time for another issue and reported that it's still happening. The weather doesn't make a difference, and the engine temp is always below half.
