2018 Q5 Transmission lag
Noticing a lag when I accelerate after braking. Switched off Auto Start/Stop and it seems to help but ran into the issue a few times on the weekend, and once on the on-ramp to a highway which was scary. An error message suggests the transmission may be hot and that I need to alter my driving style, which really doesn't make sense for regular stop and go traffic in the city. I think it might be linked to Start/Stop where the car decides to switch off the engine but it never stalls, and results in the transmission not going in gear. When this happens, it seems like I am accelerating in neutral.
Anyone else noticed this?

You should get it checked out in case there are any issues with the transmission. My car has 200km only and been at the dealership since last week. They are struggling to figure this out

Tell me about it. Picked up the car and didn't get to drive it for a week due to a business trip. Came back and almost got run over by an 18 wheeler because the car won't go.. needless to say, I am not happy.

More bad news. They have ordered a new transmission from Germany I don't know when I get the car back. Should I contact Audi corporate to waive off my payments until I have the car? Should I ask them to replace the car?

I have made as much noise as possible but nothing yet. They will update me by next Friday, and most likely it's going to be "need a few more weeks because blah". I need to call Audi Corporate.
