Mahmood, I beleive that could be solved with a software reset! However, please keep in mind that our cars are short ratio 8 speed. Using the manual mode alot can do that to your car. Always make sure you dont downshift too many gears because our cars do not have rev matching feature, hence you will end up hurting your transmission!

The wobbling could be many things! Is it wobbling all the time, while braking. Are all your lugs tight, wheels balanced, rims bent, tie rod end, was the rack and pinion recall performed, there are several possibilities. I have also found that if I don t fully press the brake pedal down when I shift into drive there I a slight delay and the car will catch causing a minor jolt

You were right, a reprogramming solved the issue
