Consumer Description

AFTER RESTARTING HOT ENGINE AFTER A BRIEF STOP, CAR MIGHT STUMBLE DURING FIRST ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE, FOR EXAMPLE TRYING TO ENTER TRAFFIC FROM A PARKING LOT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND HAS BEEN CAUSE FOR ALARM. THE ENGINE IS RUNNING BUT FEELS AS IF IT IS NOT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL TURBO LAG AND THE PROBLEM CLEARS AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE AND THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES SET.
