I also lost power while trying to avoid a problem... that is definitely an issue to look out for. Now I make sure I'm in the optimal gear at all times. I always drive in manual mode to be sure I can select the gear. Now avoidances are not a problem and around turns I get all the power I need. The DCT is a great transmission, it just has it's quirks that you have to learn and also learn how to use it correctly. Software problems are an issue on some cars, but sometimes I also wonder if this is partially user error.
