Automatic transmission question
Can someone explain the symptoms of the problem the Automatic transmission A8 has? The car is a 2016 Z51 automatic. Mine is almost exactly like my friends car he is having the problem, his car has about 1200 miles on it. Still under warranty. I haven't had the problem but my car has about 650 miles on it. Any description of what the car does when having the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys & gals!

Own a "16 Z51 A8. 23K miles. All Smiles. Cool Running. Maybe just lucky but since pushing 180MPH on I8 coming back from CA. I have total faith in the Tranny. OK. You could respond with typical hooligan critique but at 68 I'm impervious. Luck of the draw maybe. But I think most over-think. The A8 is as good as it gets. (IMO) Nit picking on the C7 is more subjective rather than objective. Until a Ferrari comes in under $100K The Z51 is the best "bang for the Buck" on this or any other planet.
