Yes, check 'something'.... pretty sure it should shift into 5th in normal driving.

I am not reading 19 pages of BS to find that... I think he is feeling the tranny shift from 4th to 3rd, or the torque converter is locking up,unlocking. Those little turds on have a 4spd auto... If the rpms rise after the "shift" you have dropped a gear, if the decrease, but not much, the torque converter is locking up. A locked converter gives better mileage, but you loose the viscous torque multiplying effect.

A black guy in a korean car, sounds like a good start to a joke...
