| Description of the problem | Car has serious, dangerous acceleration problems. It's most noticeable when turning left into oncoming traffic. Car appears to lose all power when accelerating - hanging for seconds while nothing happens. Engine hits redline all the time and it barely gains speed. Called dealer and was first told "dual clutch will learn driving style." after noting car has 2k miles was then told "the delay is a characteristic of that car." this is unacceptable and incredibly dangerous. I've almost been t-boned multiple times because of this. Googling led me to many other reports of the same issue. This vehicle needs to be recalled. |
