Every automatic I’ve driven since the early 90s has had the same sensation of an extra shift at around 45 mph and none of them have had electronic throttle (including my 04 Aveo).

Why does my car not upshift to 4th gear?

If the temp is below 35-40° F, my car won’t upshift to 4th gear and then overdrive for the first mile or so. At sub-freezing temperatures, it’s even longer. If that is what you’re referring to, the transmission is supposed to do this. It shouldn’t just happen intermittently — there’s probably some problem.

Is it normal to feel an extra shift on most automatics?

Has been normal to feel an extra “shift” on most automatics since late ’80s or early ’90s. I would bring the car back to the dealer on the mileage issue.
