2019 Tiguan S 4Motion purchased brand new Feb 2020 and after 8k miles it’s already having shifting issues. It will jerk and hard shift both up and down. Up is typically around 30-40mph and hard downshift normally occurs in the 20mph area. Has been happening consistently the past few days after about half hour of driving. Dealer took it for a 5min drive and couldn’t recreate the issue. Told them it needs to be after a longer drive but until they can recreate the issue, there’s no problem with my car apparently. Called VW Corp and supposedly have a case started with them to have dealer resolve issue. Will see what happens.

When letting off the accelerator to slow down, the vehicle downshifts and it is not smooth. Upon accelerating from a stop, the vehicle shifts hard.
Update from Feb 3, 2022: Resolved, traded vehicle in on different brand.
