It happened this afternoon.The car starts normally,but after you try to pull away,it doesn't apply throtle immediately,then it lurches really fast forward then it stops,grinding noises bellow.Like the handbrake is applying itself...

After several attempts and restarting,i put it into manual and it went smoothly and i could drive without problems.Change to D again and the car was driving fine again.

What has happened,why the car couldn't pull away before that:(

The problem persisted during my first week of ownership,then disappeared-just after a trip to the dealer,who didn't find nothing wrong!

The same problem this morning,doing reverse had the same effect as well.

In ten minute the car pulls away fine in any mode.Calling the dealer today:headhurt:

Oh,this problem just disappeared after the first week and never happened again after that!
Very strange and very worrying at the time...
