    Car has serious, dangerous acceleration problems. It's most noticeable when turning left into oncoming traffic. Car appears to lose all power when accelerating - hanging for seconds while nothing happens. Engine hits redline all the time and it barely gains speed. Called dealer and was first told "dual clutch will learn driving style." after noting car has 2k miles was then told "the delay is a characteristic of…

    I filed this report on 2/21/17 and after a few weeks it disappeared (complaint # 10956079). This is an updated version of that complaint. When making a right or left turn from a stop into traffic and the suv hits a small patch of snow, pothole or bump in the street, the stability/ traction control will curtail the vehicle acceleration for a few seconds. This has caused a near miss rearend collision into my vehicle…

    Electronic Stability Control

    During normal left hand and right hand turns and u-turns, the tc/esc can activate and cause the engine management system to significantly reduce engine power. This happens on dry pavement, under normal acceleration. It will also happen more frequently during turns if there is a bump/pothole/road imperfection that jars the suspension. This issue is dangerous and has nearly caused accidents. I have had to pull off the…

At the same time on the dash the orange traction control light comes on. This last for a number of seconds and then the engine starts to once again respond to the gas peddle. This problem has happened to me and my wife12 times since we…
