The automatic is designed to prevent downshifts that are dangerous to the engine. It shouldn't allow you to downshift unless it'll put you at a safe (though sometimes quite loud) RPM. If it really did this keep it in automatic until the dealer can verify that it is working properly.
To the topic, on my auto I've unintentionally downshifted during acceleration due to my weight carrying me backwards.
