GR8-LIFE

I had a hip surgery abiut 2 months after my S4 delievry so I havent had the chance to play with her in different modes. But now getting back into the car finally, I noticed that in Dynamic Mode, the car jerks and rocks like crazy when going WOT from a standstill. First time it happened I thought maybe I engaged something I shouldnt have, such as traction off, etc. But I didnt. This behavior happens fairly consistently.

WTH is this? I have never experienced anything like it. Although this is an AUTO, The jerky motion feels like I am learning how to drive stick all over again. I mean its friggin nuts. Seems to only happen from a standstill at WOT and in Dynamic mode. My thinking is this has to be a programming issue, atleast I hope!!! Anyone know if there is a TSB on this weird issue?

The whole purpose of the DYNAMIC setting in the ADS is to make the car feel more "alive" or more dynamic. I agree that the throttle response is vivid when in that setting, but that's how it's supposed to be.

If you don't like that feeling, then use the MMI to setup "Indivdual" with the steering and suspension on Dynamic, but the engine on Comfort.

I wish you were the passenger in my car when it happens. This is not the "Alive" you are describing. This is being thrown back and forth violently until you lift off the throttle, then it behaves normally.

yeah, that doesn't sound right... get it checked out.

I agree with the good doctor...that doesn't sound normal. It is almost like you are describing throttle cut or severe boost cut, but then it restores and cuts again...that would be a strange circumstance.

I’m having a similar issue with my 2015 S4. I’m honestly not sure what’s wrong with it. I can drive it normal but once I give it some gas it does a crazy jerk. Doesn’t do it all the time but i would say maybe about 40% of the time.
