Are you saying it's only bogging down in 1st and 2nd, but not bogging down in the higher gears?

From what you might be saying, it's possible it could be "wet sumping".
Take it to a dealer and have that checked out. If that's the prob,you may be still covered by the two year factory warranty, depending on when it was put into service.
