Description of the problem | Engine on this vehicle is very slow to respond. When i give gas, it struggles to start moving, feels like it is carrying 10k lbs of load behind. I push gas peddle to the floor at a signal light to get away from traffic. Car won't respond for about 1 or 2 seconds, then starts to move, but very slow, crawling, then starts to speed up. Turbo lag is very bad. I don't feel safe. This appears to be a recurring issue that is being reported from customers. To be frank, the size of the vehicle (larger than other models) does not seem to match the engine size. Nhtsa needs to investigate for the safety of other drivers, particularly those who share the same fears. |
