NHTSA Complaint #11022043 — 2013 BMW X6

VEHICLE DEMONSTRATES TURBO LAG. IN THE STATIONARY POSITION WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE PAUSES FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT THE RPM RISES THAN THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE FORWARD. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AS ONE TRIES TO ENTER HEAVY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE FORWARD AS THE TURBO DECIDES TO KICK IN. BECAUSE OF THE LAG, I'VE PLACED MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK OF INJURY AS I ATTEMPT TO ENTER TRAFFIC. WHEN YOU SEE AN OPENING TO ENTER TRAFFIC, THAT OPENING IS GONE AS THE LAG PREVENTS THE CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD AT THE TIME REQUIRED TO ENTER TRAFFIC SAFELY. INSTEAD YOUR PROPELLED INTO TRAFFIC, CUTTING OFF OTHER DRIVERS THAT HAVE TO BREAK TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS IS A DAILY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
