A8 question
I’ve only owned my 2015 A8 for 2 months with 2100 miles. Sometimes (ha ha) I get stuck in slow moving city traffic. When I start moving in this creeping traffic the Trans will give a hard shift that gives you feel that you just lurched forward but actually you don’t. First time it happened I thought the car behind me hit my rear bumper. I’ve tried to watch the speedo to catch what speed this happens but I can only narrow it down to less than 20 mph. Any thoughts?

I'm sorry to hear about your hard shift concerns. I understand how displeasing this would be and realize you're seeking opinions about it. However, if you'd like to consider getting an official GM diagnosis, please message me privately as I can reach out to the dealer's Customer Experience Managers (CEM) for additional assistance. If you'd like to contact us privately, we'd be happy to discuss this with you further.
