Consumer Description

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT LAG IN THE POWER TRAIN OF THE AUDI Q8 AFTER BREAKING TO A COASTING SPEED AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE GAS PEDAL IS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE FOR 2-3 SECONDS DURING THIS TIME. DANGEROUS DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE DUE TO AUTO START/STOP OR MILD-HYBRYD SYSTEMS AND CAUSING VEHICLE TO COAST WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A YIELD SIGN OR INTERSECTION ETC BEFORE TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGES. THE VEHICLE IS POWERLESS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS DESPITE APPLICATION OF GAS PEDAL, CAUSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO POTENTIAL COLLIDE. ALREADY REPORTED TO AUDI SERVICE BUT THEY SAID IT'S NORMAL, WHICH I TOTALLY DISAGREE
