Description of the problem	Engine on this vehicle is very slow to respond. When i give gas, it struggles to start moving, feels like it is carrying 10k lbs of load behind. There are only two passengers, not pulling anything. Push gas peddle to the floor at a signal light to get away from traffic. Car won't response for about 1 second, then starts to move, but very slow, crawling, then starts to speed up. Turbo lag is very bad. Need to update software to help eliminate this. Audi uses the same engine, but response is so much better.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
