Got my TLX 2.4 Tech for almost a month(since Aug 13th), I am generally satisfied with this car, but there are some abnormal reaction of the transmission really annoyed me.
I can confirm the 8 speed DCT is a great transmission which shifting fast and smooth when you step on the gas pedal all the way down. But, I have notice some jerkiness and even knocking when driving in low speed, especially when the car hadn't been warmed up.
At the first or, second day after I brought the TLX, when I drove in normal mode and tried to stop in front of a red light, while I try to brake the engine is rev up and feels want to jump forward. Then I tried to apply the brake harder, the car did stop but with knocking sound coming from under the hood. Sounds like "Bong".
This is not happening every time when I tried to stop, but I had experience at least 20 times for the past month.
except this, I also notice when you move from Neutral to Drive, the transmission will have a sudden torque push the car forward after 1 second you made the switch then disappear within 0.5 secs.
I have a 2014 RDX AWD, it's tranny is silk smooth when switch from N to D
