Has anyone experienced vibrating that seems to be coming from the brakes/transmission while slightly applying the brakes? I notice it most while in a drive thru or in slow moving traffic. It does it when I take my foot off of the brake slowly as well. I have the automatic turn-off button shut off, so I know it isn't because the engine is stalling when stopping. The only way I can describe it is, it feels like you are driving over the strips they put on the road before a stop sign. Very annoying.

Do you have the DCT?

Bad road. And never felt anything like that

Do you have the DCT?

Yes, I have the DCT. I called the dealership and they told me it might be something that needs to "work itself out". I'm not buying that

 

[FrankMN]

Nope...Agreed with you. I remember reading about some little problems of this type with a DCT at low speed. They were saying it is a "characteristic" of DCT. If you think about a DCT can be described as a manual transmission with automatic shifting, so I guess this problem might make a bit of sense at low speed.

True. There's a ton of stuff on line about that transmission. Mine worked it self out (wear in?) around 5K

I have experienced that shaking when I backed out of my garage and put it in Drive. My car has under 3K miles so I hope it fixes itself. The car is a Seltos AWD with DCT also and I do use the gas saving feature. Hope you are right

I always advise people who never owned or driven a DCT to try it out before buying. I've owned loads of manual cars and have an engineering background so get why they do what they do. Moving into DCT cars was not a thing for me because I had driven them plus manuals. They are not great at low speed smoothness. If you had a CVT or automatic torque converter transmission, that torque converter is doing all the work to smooth out power delivery. In a manual, you're doing that job. You can slip the clutch more if smoothness is more important than clutch life. In a DCT, it's slipping the clutch to try to smooth things out too. Digital logic isn't perfect.

Always chase faults. If you come to terms to what DCTs do and can't do, you'll come to terms with what is a defect versus a limitation.

I had the same issue and there was a software update for the transmission. I had the update installed on Monday, took 30 mins and the problem is resolved. Talk to your dealership.

Take it back to the dealer

I have noticed the same thing with my SX. If you just barley release the brake, not all the way, but to just let the car roll forward, there is a chattering type vibration. I am not concern with it right now, but when I take it in for it's first oil change I will add it to the list.
