I'm about 5k miles into my MY25 P400 X-dynamic. So far I've been super happy with it except for one thing...

Often when I'm accelerating out of a slow turn (5-10mph), the engine will rev and take a second or so to "catch" then jolt me forward as the gear engages. It's almost like it doesn't know what gear it wants to be in, takes a second to decide as the revs increase, then engages abruptly (a bit like someone who's learning to drive a manual )

If I take the turn faster, it doesn't seem to have the same jolt and just stays in the right gear. Obviously driving faster is a solution but not the preferred one in all circumstances!

Anyone else experience something like this? Thanks in advance!

 

I can induce this every time on this specific uphill 4 way stop while turning left onto a flat road. Other than that I don't encounter it. I can smooth it out by just staying steady slow until I get flat and then I can increase the rpms without the jolt. I assume it is something in the shift point tuning and the parameters it's encountering at that point. Since it's only been that one scenario I don't sweat it too much.

 

Yep, that's very similar to my experience. There are a couple of turns near our house where it happens almost every time. I can sometimes feather the accelerator and slowly accelerate out of the turn smoothly but I guess I don't always get it right. Good to know it's not just my vehicle but slightly disappointed that it's an issue with an otherwise solid drivetrain.

 

Running a different mode may take care of it say ECO vs. Comfort. Most of my vehicles have had a similar hitch in the right (wrong) scenarios. Agree would be a bother if was a frequent occurrence.
