Engine braking?

Engine braking?
OK, first off, I googled this for about 20 mins and all I could find was thousands of "Is engine braking bad for your engine, clutch, tranny, etc". Anyways. I just bought a brand new Fiesta (I LOVE it, don't judge me), it's got about 250 miles, and it is completely awful at engine braking. If I'm going down a moderate hill in 2nd gear, it would rev itself up to redline if I let it. Quickly, too. It doesn't even feel like it's trying to slow itself down. Maybe it's cause it's a little 1.6? Or maybe it's just a low compression motor? I hope there isn't a problem with the piston rings sealing properly. Ideas?
