When I test drove the 1LT, I noticed the same thing, it seems like the speed threshold is 10-15 mph on the 1LT. If this is happening at 10-15 mph in your car, then my point is moot, otherwise you may be downshifting too soon.
Actually, it doesn't do it when I downshift myself. It only seems to happen when the car does it for you.
