| Description of the problem | While under moderate acceleration the vehicle stopped responding to throttle input, seemingly stuck in gear and coasting. Attempts to use manual shift mode to prompt an up/down shift failed, after a number of seconds the car started responding again by acknowledging the full throttle input. This resulted in a rapid downshift in gears and nearly losing control of the car as it surged forward. This issue re-occurred multiple times, dealership has been unable to replicate. |
