Consumer Description

PREVIOUSLY ENTERED COMPLAINT REGARDING COLD THROTTLE/TURBO LAG OF 3-5 SECONDS WHICH IS DANGEROUS FOR PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS BUT THIS IS NOT LIMITED TO COLD VEHICLES. THE LAG IS SHORTER BUT EVIDENT WHEN WARM. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF HITTING THE LAG WHILE TRYING TO TURN IN AN INTERSECTION AND THERE IS A "FLAT SPOT" LAG OF 2 -3 SECONDS. PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC CAN CAUSE A LAG THEN SURGE FORWARD. I HAVE ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD DIFFICULTY SWITCHING LANES BECAUSE I GET THE NOSE OF THE VEHICLE TURNED INTO ANOTHER LANE THEN IT DOES NOT MOVE CAUSING NEAR COLLUSIONS THEN SURGES FORWARD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I AM BEGINNING TO BE FRIGHTENED OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR EVEN THE SHORTEST OF TIMES.
