Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2014 AUDI SQ-5 THAT SURGES INTERMITTENTLY FROM A FEATHERED THROTTLE. THIS IS A VERY STRONG FORWARD LURCH THAT MAKES THIS CAR DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN TIGHT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS OR IN A PARKING LOT OR ANY TIME YOU DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF ROOM IN FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS HAPPENS LESS THAN 1/100 FEATHERED THROTTLE SITUATIONS. WE FOUND THIS OCCURS IN A ALL POSITIONS OF DRIVE SELECT BUT LESS IN THE COMFORT SETTING. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO RECTOR AUDI ON TWO OCCASIONS FOR THIS BUT THEY FOUND NO MECHANICAL ISSUES. THE SUDDEN ENGAGEMENT OF THE SUPERCHARGER CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS FROM FEATHERED THROTTLE. THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AT MAXIMUM ACCELERATION. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN, BUT IT SILL HAPPENS. *TR
