I am not sure if this is new or if this is something that I am just noticing.
In Full Auto mode, My IS350 jerks into first when I am braking. Does this happen on everyone elses car? I will probably have to have my car checked out
Its bad while in regular mode, Its worse in Power mode.

Floor the gas and the car is like, "

I've never heard the term "notchy" applied to an automatic before. Usually it refers to a manual where the stick is less than pleasant to move from one gear to another.
As to your question, I feel the transmission downshifting as I slow down. And the transmission can be a bit jerky when you suddenly give it gas after coasting in heavy traffic. I'm sure I'll get more smooth as I become accustomed to its quirks.
