It could well be a glitch in the software - I've had three VWs with DSG gearboxes - the same technology as DCT boxes, and everyone has had to have software 'patches' to cure some interesting faults, one of which was similar to your 'surging(?)' so don't let them get away with palming you off!

any updates? 

 

If your issue is not yet solved and since I have no idea if what related posts may have been posted on this forum please note 

that there seems to be a small number of DCT gearboxes affected by wear on the parts numbered 6(most affected), 9, 14, 15 as shown here with symptoms as you describe and all is fixed and back to normal after these parts are replaced with no expensive labor involved
