Hello community:
I recently purchased a 2019 Atlas SE w/Tech R Line. I love the car. However, after 1k I have one issue that I wanted to pitch to the group before taking it in to the dealer.
Like many on here, I had some interesting transmissions shifts, particularly around town, early on. Those seem to have settled and the car shifts smoothly, except for the first 3 to 4 shift of the day. No matter which drive mode I'm in, the best way to describe the shift is hard. After this first 3 to 4 shift, it's perfect until everything is cold again (sitting idle for an extended period). While warm and driving, subsequent 3 to 4 shifts are perfect. In eco mode, it's the least noticeable. In sport it's not too bad unless I'm under heavy acceleration when the shift occurs, but in normal mode the shift can be outright jarring no matter the speed or rate of acceleration.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Does it resolve itself through additional shift point learning? It's been doing this since 400 miles on the odometer, so I've "just driven" for 600+ miles (mostly city driving) to see if it will re-learn it's way around this.
Thank you to anyone who contributes. I plan to take it to the dealer, but want to be informed when I take it in to ensure I don't get the "performing as designed" diagnosis.
