Just purchased a 2021 Audi A6. It was a former loaner car with just over 8,000 miles. Only problem I see at this time is rough jerking or lurching upon hard acceleration from a dead stop. Ie. trying to pull onto a very busy highway from a side street or parking lot with cars already traveling over 50 mph. If I accelerate slower there's no jerking but chances are I could get rear ended for not getting enough speed up quickly enough. I've seen mostly explanations there is something wrong with the fuel/air mixture or transmission problems but the dealer had a different explanation. That is: if car accelerates to quickly the CVT transmission is trying to find the right gear and has trouble keeping up. Just doesn't sound right to me. Does anyone have any thoughts?
