Default Transmission "thump" in new '04 Accord EX V6 AT

Hi. I'm new to the forum and picked up a brand-new '04 Accord EX V6 AT on Saturday, 8/28. I've noticed three things I'm concerned about:
1. After the car has been turned off and parked, when I engage 'D', either after reversing or directly, there is a slightly audible "thump" after about 1 - 1 1/2 seconds that is also felt through the gas pedal. It does not do this while in 'D' and starting back up from a stop. Do I have a problem with my transmission?
2. The car pulls very slightly to the right while driving, but enough that I need to maintain slight steering pressure to counter it. Tires are inflated properly.
3. The roof lining has come unattached at the top of the rear window - looks like crap.

Thank you in advance for any input. I am not a "technical car person" and really appreciate your comments and advice.

Hopefully, this is the right forum for these questions. If now, please direct me accordingly.
