| Description of the problem | Sometimes after slowing to make a turn the car's engine seems to "stumble" for a second before acceleration can begin. Comes as a surprise and because of the hesitation catching me off-guard i am pitched forward in my seat. Nothing catastrophic, but very annoying and could be dangerous to a driver not knowledgeable about this problem. This is a brand new car and i noticed this problem after only a day or two of ownership. I suspect this is a software issue and can be fixed with a reflash of the ecu, but that's just my best guess. Have not contacted the dealership yet, but thought i'd file this complaint first to see if a recall can be issued to fix this problem. |
