Hi Courtney. Thanks for contacting us tonight. This type of symptom is commonly associated with a vacuum or minor exhaust leak. However, since your car is relatively new, it could be a minor electrical glitch or even a sign of dirty transmission fluid that needs to be flushed. I would recommend keeping an eye on your car for the next few days to see if this symptom gets progressively worse or clears up on its own. If it gets worse, it would be a good idea to have a professional mechanic complete an on-site inspection, so they can identify the actual reason this is happening, so the right repairs can be made.
