Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“There is a dangerous lag in the accelerator when starting from a stop, or a low speed turn. It happens every time I come to a quick stop at a sign or when turning a slow speed corner.. It is most dangerous when pulling out of a parking lot or cross street when oncoming traffic is coming and you need the car to respond accurately to your gas pedal input. Instead, the vehicle does nothing for 1-1.5 seconds, then lurches forward. This creates a very dangerous situation when you commit to pull into traffic, hit the gas pedal, and the vehicle doesn't actually move until the delay. …”
NHTSA complaint #11190069, filed 2019-03, 22,000 miles“The vehicle within the first weeks of ownership failed to reengage the transmission after the eco feature turned off the engine.

The car has to be turned off and restarted to get the transmission to engage. This takes several seconds to do and creates a very dangerous situation.I have contacted the salesman at the dealership and he said he has heard this happen to others but they do not have a fix yet.”
NHTSA complaint #10759028, filed 2015-08, 500 miles“I agree with another poster about an issue. We experience this too with our 15' Range Rover Sport supercharged V8 5.0L Dynamic vehicle. There is a dangerous lag in the accelerator when starting from a stop, or a low speed turn. It happens every time I stop or when turning a corner. It is most dangerous when pulling out of a parking lot or cross street when oncoming traffic is coming and you need the car to respond accurately to your gas pedal input. Instead, the vehicle does nothing for 1-1. 5 seconds, then lurches forward. With a V8 510 HP engine thats quite a huge difference in jolt. …”
