Owner complaint summary

You absolutely can not pull out in traffic because the car has a horrible lag, it’s as if it stalls at initial acceleration. Whether it’s pulling out of a side street, setting off from a stop light, or occasionally while already moving and speeding up. When stepping on the vehicle’s accelerator pedal, there was a lag of around five seconds or so before the vehicle started to accelerate at all. Yes it’s available for inspection upon request. The safety issue is the car can kill you at any moment but you never know when! The dealer has “fixed” the issue once already with a recall. The vehicle has not been inspected again because you never know when it will happen and they think they already fixed the issue! Initially I got warning lights before the recall and had the vehicle towed 3 times in the first month of owning it for its problem. Now it just does the same stuff without warning lights and hasn’t broken down yet.
