What causes the hard shifting in 2016 chrysler 200 limited? What's the fix?

Intermittent hard shifting. Has done it since I got it with 26000 miles. It's starting to happen more often. No dealer has a solution due to it being Intermittent and can't catch it. There's a lot on line about this issue, but I haven't seen how to prevent it before I have to replace the transmission.
What makes this problem better or worse?
No pattern to it that I have found

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team!
Hard shifting in your Chrysler 200, especially since it’s been happening for a while, could be tied to the transmission control module (TCM) or software. Chrysler had some known issues with these 9-speed automatics, where a software update or TCM reprogramming could smooth things out. Since it's intermittent, it's tricky for dealers to catch, but a good scan of the system might reveal stored codes that don’t trigger a check engine light. To avoid major transmission damage, I’d push for a software update if it hasn't been done yet.
