What owners wrote
When overriding intelligent cruise control to pass a car, occasionally the xtronic CVT transmission appears to go into neutral, RPM increases rapidly and car doesn't speed up. Most occasions have been traveling on incline. When transmission re-engages it jerks sometimes very hard. On one instance turned cruise control off and transmission re- engaged. Most occasions have been at speeds 60-65 MPH carried car to dealer could not warranty because it did not show up on computer.
