This happened in drive (any mode) and also in manual mode shifting myself. The car was sufficiently warmed up. 2nd to 3rd it gets better but isn't great, and 3rd-8th seems fine.
The only way I can describe it in text is this:
Come to a complete stop,
inch forward in 1st gear,
when the TM wants to shift to 2nd, the car will jump about 200 RPM, hang there for a half a second or so, (in AUTO)
jerk into 2nd gear. It actually spilled my coffee 
I do not seem to have any issues with any other gear but i very very rarely drive in Automatic because of these issues so I couldn't really say with any confidence that this doesn't happen in 2-8. I have been learning to drive around the issue by letting 1st rev out a little longer in manual mode (to about 3-3500 RPM) and then shifting myself. It is very annoying but it is getting me by. |
This is exactly what is happening to me. This started about 3-4 weeks ago. I've had the car for a year and it has almost 10k miles on it. I took it to a dealership, replicated the issue while driving with their mechanic, and they said it's fine and refused to do anything.
I called corporate and they told me a "senior advisor" will call me in the next 48 hours. This is not a minor issue for me as this is my daily driver and weekdays tend to have lots of traffic.
