Consumer Description

THROTTLE LAG FROM A NEAR (BUT NOT FULL) STOP. IF COMING TO ROLLING STOP, FROM 1-8 MPH, AND THEN HIT ACCELERATOR, THE CAR ENGINE REVS BUT NO ACCELERATION TO VEHICLE. AFTER A 2-3 SECOND DELAY, CAR WILL LUNGE AND ACCELERATE NORMALLY. SCARY WHEN NEED TO ACCELERATE FROM A NEAR ROLLING STOP. LEFT HAND TURNS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS. EXPLAINED ISSUE TO DEALER, AND Q8 CAR FORUMS HAVE SAME ISSUE. DEALER SAYS FUNCTIONING "NORMAL", WHICH I DISAGREE IT IS NOT. I HAVE TRIED ALL SETTINGS FOR START/STOP, TRANSMISSION SETTINGS, ETC., AND NOTHING FULLY ALLEVIATES THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT EPISODIC AND A CONSISTENT, REPRODUCIBLE DANGEROUS ISSUE.
