Default Throttle problem

I have an 08 auto coupe that Ive put about 1500 miles on since August. After about 800-1000 miles I started getting a delay with accelerating, where the car seems to jump into gear between 15-20mph and really lunge forward. At first it was occasionally, but it's almost every time now. It doesnt seem to happen above 20mph. I took it to the dealer a few months back and the response was the car was functioning normally with no error messages. Has anyone else experienced this?

Mine too. From a roll, maybe 20mph...if I nail it it bucks for a second or so then goes like a bullet. I am sitting here going thru threads searching but the only info I found was someone saying that there is a software update expected in 6 months... and that post is a few months old.

Does anyone have any more recent updates on this?


Also mine fishes for gears quite a lot at very slow speeds. Slowing down and accelerating in traffic situations using VERY LITTLE throttle. Jumps in and out of gear very sloppy, sometimes bangs in when it finds the gear it wants.
