Three times the car did not downshift when coming to a stop. Had to shift to neutral. I think it's the downshift solenoid. Tranny shop could not reproduce the problem. and did nothing. Has anyone else had this problem

I don't have that new of a bird, but I do know that the newer cars are very sensitive to fluid and it should be changed at 60k. I would start with a fluid and filter change.
 
No need to include the trim level of your car in the subject. I've revised the subject "50th anniversary edition tranny isssue".
 
I use Lucas transmission stop slip when I change the fluid. it helps.
