Noises During Shifting Problems of Volkswagen Passat

When the vehicle is at slower speeds, it is constantly shifting to try and save on fuel. This results in the vehicle not providing a consistent ride. The noise when it shifts is very loud and can sometimes be felt through a jerking motion. Bringing the vehicle in to the dealership resulted in them saying they know it's an issue and hopefully vw comes out with a software fix. It's not comforting knowing that the dealership knows there's an issue and nothing is being done.

Over the past 2 years of leasing my new 2006 vw Passat, from time to time when the car down shifts to first gear it makes a very noticeable "hard" down shift. The noise associated with the hard down shift is very startling -- it sounds like something is coming through the floorboard. I'm not aware of any particular condition that causes the car to do this. . . It seems random. . It always seem to happen when I'm slowing down to stop for a traffic light. I took my car to the vw dealership in dulles, va and they said they can't fix the problem unless they can experience the problem.
