Stepping on the gas in 1st gear in auto mode should not take 1-2 seconds for the transmission to engage and the car to start accelerating. What I've been experiencing with my car is definitely not user error, I can assure you.
I agree with you, mine is not user error either. Still haven't heard back from the dealership on what they think is wrong or what they are going to do. If they do decide to pull the transmission I think I might trade it in when they finish on a true manual. I know this transmission is supposed to be faster, but it isn't faster when you are having these problems. Why pay extra for the DCT if you are going to drive it in manual all the time?
