Hello
I have a Q50 Hybrid AWD with everything but the technology package. I live in Canada. I have had the car for about 5 weeks and have put about 4500 KM on it so far. The first oil change is scheduled for 6500 KM.
I have monitored virtually every thread on this forum since August, 2013. I know that one owner had a problem with rough transitions between gas/battery.
I have had a few relatively minor issues so far, mostly software. The main software complaint I have is the backup lines that do not show up for about 2-3 mins after startup. I hope this will be fixed soon with the software update especially since this is not an issue on the cars with the technology package.
But the most serious issue I have encountered is a rough transition when the car is at rest (at a stop light or in heavy traffic) between gas/battery and battery/gas. It does not matter if I am in standard or ECO mode. The car rumbles and shakes and but for my heavy foot on the brake, the car feels like it would bolt ahead. It happened 2-3 times when I picked up the car at the dealership on day 1 of ownership. The salesman who was demonstrating the car assured me this was normal for a hybrid. Now I am not so sure.
Does anyone else have this issue?
The only other thing that is annoying is the barely audible beeping when I back up. There are no sensors on the bumper of the car so its just an audible sound whenever the car is in reverse which I assume is a normal part of the hybrid. Its not really loud enough to warn anybody, its just annoying frankly. Is there any way to disable this sound.
Thanks.
