| Description of the problem | When doing a low speed turn,and drive mode switch is in eco mode,way too much lag time before vehicle accelerates. You push accelerator pedal down ,normally,and vehicle does not speed up ,instantly. Sometimes,it is a full second before vehicle starts to gain speed. That is dangerous when vehicles are approaching you. I have had the vehicle only three weeks,and this can be extremely dangerous. I traded in a like model vehicle,which was a 2013 year,and it did not have that issue in eco mode. This issue must be fixed. |
