Consumer Description

VEHICLE DELAY TO ACCELERATE. RPMS GO UP TO 5000 BEFORE ACCELERATION KICKS IN. ALSO LAG TIME FROM STOP TO 20 MILES PER HOUR IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC IT WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. ALSO WITH ACCELERATING ON A HILL IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS BEFORE GOING FORWARD CAPTURING GAS. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS ON THIS VEHICLE WITH SAME ISSUES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TURBO WAS REPLACED I'M STILL WAITING FOR A FULL REPORT
