Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE AS A SERIOUS INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THROTTLE LAG. WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING LOTS IF YOU DO NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE THROTTLE SEEMS TO LAG 1-3 SECONDS. THEN IT SURGES FORWARD WHEN IT FINALLY DOES MOVE. AS OTHERS HAVE SAID IT DOES NOT HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME WHICH MAKES IT EVEN WORSE. YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO GO OR WAIT A SECOND OR TWO BEFORE IT MOVES. BEING IN SPORT MODE DOES HELP BUT WHO CAN REMEMBER TO ENGAGE THAT EVERY TIME YOU START THE CAR. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I REFUSE TO LET MY DAUGHTER DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I'VE DISCUSSED IT WITH THE DEALER BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX OR ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE ISSUE.
