You can imagine how this is like when you're stop and go for several miles.

So I got an update from my SA today. Here are the notes the tech put into the system and they think they got it fixed. We'll see. My SA test drove my car with me in it when I dropped it off. I wanted to make sure he knows what I'm dealing with. He wants to test drive my car again to make sure the problem is really gone before releasing it back to me.

BOTH TORQUE CHARACTERISTIC AND ALSO TRANSMISSION SLIPPING
POINT. TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AROUND TO SET A BASE LINE FOR
TRANS AND ENGINE ADAPTATIONS
I had the same issue back in 2011.

The issue is that 1 of 2 things
1) Your ecu module is never updated or hasn't been updated to the newest update
2) your ecu module is fried

I took my car when I had the idle issues and they changed the entire module and hadn't had any problems so far.

as for the dct issues I don't think it has to do with the idle that is its own problem that needs to be checked out on.
