Default VSC interfere too often after update?

Have anyone experience the traction or the VSC kicks in way too much after the recall update?

It happen to me a lot every day since I put almost 6,000 miles on my car in 3 months,

There will be a very obvious feeling of losing the power, it usually happen when driving out the parking lot to the main road or making U-turn, the car seems shift up so quick and has no power at all, I need to release the throttle and tap it several times like what you do in a track corner to keep the torque.
It also happen when accelerating from red light or even around 30-40 mph, the rev will suddenly drop seems it shifted up and the car lose all the power.

This is kind of annoying and sometimes dangerous when im crossing several lanes and suddenly slow down a lot and blocking the lanes...

Want to know if anyone has experience this kind of situation...
Wish they can restore back to the old VSC system... I rather have the power slide than stuck in the middle of the road and get hit...

I have not experienced any of these things.

I think you should have your dealer take a look at this.

+1, me neither. Take it to the dealer...

Let us know what the dealer comes up with.

I've experienced the transmission hunting for the correct gear when accelerating after a right-hand turn, but nothing like what ybing had described. I would definitely take the car to the dealer and have them take a look; it shouldn't be that difficult to diagnose since you can replicate the problem (I mean, you're experiencing the problem everyday).

My dealer is kind of rubbish on finding problems... don't want to say that... but its true, I will have to drive the car myself to show them every time, even the simple alignment issue they still didn't find the problem, maybe I should just tell them to put it on the rack and I will pay for it if nothing wrong... sighs
