Default WT 6 Speed Auto Box

I have now done 1200km's in the new Fiesta and i wanted to know if anyone else has had any problems with the auto box????

I have been having problems in peak hour traffic, the ratio's dont seem right, the car seems to surge when changing up from first to second, yesterday it was so bad that i came within a couple of inches hitting a van in front of me..
I have even tried to leave it in low on a few occaissions to see if that helps but you need to change up anything above 10 kph....

When i mentioned this to the dealer i was told to wait until i had travelled the 3,000 km's and bring it in for "an adjustment", not a first service as they dont change or replace anything its just some "adjustments" and if there were any other issues to make a list and they will look at it then........ the only other major issue was the carpet in the drivers side foot well is made to short and is coming away from the tunnel.

I am very impressed with everything else, the handling and steering are fantastic, its like the car is driving on rails around corners, its one of the best handling cars i've owned and i have driven quite a few over the years......

Has anybody else had any issues with the Autobox in traffic?????
