| Description of the problem | My new 2019 volkswagen s coupe has a significant turbo lag. So much so, that i do not feel safe driving the car. I was making a turn at an intersection and it was as though the car lost all power when i excellerated. It goes from no exceation when moving from stopped position to surging very fast upon the car ahead of me. I feel that this is a very serious issue and that my life may be at risk. It seems the accretion cannot be controlled!! This is a continuing problem when i am stopped and hit the excellerator to go forward . I don't know how much longer i can drive the car without a serious crash!! |
