Hi all- this is my first post. 

I have recently bought a low miles 2015 v6s AWD
very happy with the car- looks and sounds amazing. 
I have noticed however that I seem to have a problem with second gear sometimes- at around mid throttle i get quite marked lurching/jerking. 
i thought this might be the auto transmission, but even when driving in semiautomatic mode i note that it happens only in second gear. 
basically if i put the power on gently it's fine and if I floor it it's fine, but at about mid throttle i get big lurches

has anyone else experienced this? is it a known thing?


cheers

I don't know if this will work or help but it works on Range Rovers. Try a reset by

1 - turn on ignition but don't start engine.
2 - press throttle pedal to the floor and hold it there for 15 seconds.
3- turn ignition off and wait 2 minutes then start car and drive.

I believe it wipes previous driving style history and puts back to factory settings..
