Were you getting kind of the a kick feeling beyond the second gear? I'm trying to find out if anyone experienced the same thing that I had.

I was amazed they were so confident I would pay it. I wound up buying the parts and fluid from rm european and doing it myself.
The "reset" didn't work for me, I found that the transmission worked itself out after about 50 miles after changing the fluid and filter/pan.

It felt like it was shifting over and over again, as I held a steady speed at between 25-35 mph (sorry, you'll have to convert that)

Since the transmission reset it has not happened again. I'm hoping the reset fixed it!

That son-of-B**tch did it again yesterday, it happened only once. This is weird and doesn't make sense! Since I reset the transmission it was fine for almost a week and then it happens again but only once during the day......
Are you guys sure that if I change the transmission fluid, it would fix this problem? I don't want to spend the money if it's not going to resolve the problem. Or is this a software issue?
Please advise! Thanks

if the car is under warranted then take it back to the dealer and get the most up to day software upgrade

The dealer upgraded the software to the latest version last month that's why I'm little suspicious about what's happening?
My extended warranty expired on April 28th.
