I recently purchased my 2019 Atlas SE and from the very first day of driving it, I noticed a weird jumpiness when gears are shifting up or shifting down at low speed. Mainly only happens between 1st-4th gear it seems. Super annoying and I just don't feel comfortable with it. Took it to the dealership where I purchased it, test drove another 2020 Atlas and surprisingly, it has the same issue. Like a weird jerking me around type of experience. Literally, the car is jerking me around. I took it in for service, test drove it with the technician, and not surprisingly, I was told that it is "normal for Atlas shifting". It may be normal for Atlas shifting but it's evident it is NOT NORMAL when comparing to other makes and models, including older VW makes and models. I've been driving automatic vehicles for over 25 years and never have I felt this type of unsatisfactory experience. I am appalled that VW is actually getting away with manufacturing such poor quality with the Atlas. I have no idea if other VW models have the same issue but the Atlas seems like it's a great big load of scrap metal. It looks good, it is spacious but when it comes to performance, highly not recommended.
Has anyone else experienced a jerky move and jumpiness with their 2019 Atlas in lower gears? If so, did you end up fixing it, and if yes, please share any details that would be helpful.
