Default Transmission issue on a 2011 Q5

Hello:

this is a post from another forum. I think it needs to be shared here also as others may have this issue or are looking for a similar soln

Q5 Transmission Problem - Audi Forum - Audi Forums for the A4, S4, TT, A3, A6 and more!
The transmission developed a strange fault. When necessary due to an upgrade, it would downshift (which is normal) then slam immediately back into the higher gear with an uncomfortable thunk. This occurred initially when in cruise, towing a light windsurfing trailer. Subsequent experimentation, however, shows that it does it with or without cruise activated and with or without the trailer. Left alone, it continues to thunk and intervention is necessary.
has anyone here seen or know about this issue

My 2011 did this when I first got it and I took it to the dealer and they recalibrated the transmission. It has not skipped a beat in 52,000 miles since.

My 2011 starting do this this right around 4500 miles, had the software update at the 5K service. So far so good.at 52K. The code description read as an infotainment software update on the invoice. Was told that was pretty normal at the time.
