| Description of the problem | Car leased in feb. 2017. Just after finalized, noticed this serious problem: the acceleration after a turn is extremely slow and takes an unreasonable amount of time causing danger of vehicle behind slamming into back end. Upon accelerating after a turn there is so much hesitation that it caused driver and passengers to lunge forward once the engine kicks in. The light indicating slipping usually comes on when this happens as well. My son drove it today with my younger boy and they were almost rear ended. I've talked to dealer twice about this. |
