Ask your dealer to hook up the OBD computer interface (A laptop computer) to find out what version of the controlling software you have. If you have anything below version 32.2 (Current one) then ask them to perform a DME reflashing using the latest version of the software code.

Acetonic is right. Your dealer will not upgrade your software automatically unless such upgrade is required via a Technical Service bulletin or a recall.

There is definetely something wrong going on under your bonnet. Take it back to the dealer and better yeat, if all possible, bring the technician along with you to the same hilly street or a similar sloped street to demonstrate the problem. Better yet let him drive the car along the way so he can get an exact feel as to what the car is doing.

Good luck.
