Transmission issues after recall ...
Hey guys, not sure if I have a lemon or not but after the recent recall, my transmission has been very harsh while going down especially at 2nd gear, so going from 3rd to 2nd I would usually hear some sort of knock and the car would jerks forward. It happens on comfort in a mild way but sport its harsh and sport+ is super harsh. Anybody else having this issue? I took my car to the dealership twice already they revamped the software and checked for codes, tomorrow im taking it for the 3rd time. Im just not sure if im dealing with a lemon or is it caused by the recent software update ?
Has your car change the way it drives/ feels after the recent recall?

probably can't help too much as i'm not familiar with the recall. but, look at my previous posts about my transmission. the situation was not getting any better. it went in a week or so ago and they determined that they did, in fact, have to replace the valve body (which includes the control module). i picked it up and felt it was worse than pre-fix. drove back and spent some time with the shop foreman as i thought maybe the trans wasn't fully refilled. he assured me that the way they get filled now ensures complete fill. he took it back and put it on the machine. after, he said that the trans adaptations were still immature (picked it up the day before) and that it should get better as it is driven. fast forward, it has.
so, if this is similar to my issue, more driving should help. the tech did recommend not switching thru the "ride selector" for a while. i don't use it because it's a pita anyway.
good luck, ron
