Delay throttle response. When driving and you need to accelerate the vehicle takes several minutes to respond and you have to put the petal to the floor. No reaction to accelerate the car but rpms in red. Also when stopped at a stop light, stop sign etc and go to go the car delays again and you have the gas petal to the floor and again rpms in red and yet car not moving causing highly severe safety issues when driving and puts consumer at risk. We bought this car brand new started in June of 2020 with this issue and had 22, 000 miles on it. Still happening in all 3 drive modes eco, normal and sport. Dealership told us just don't drive in eco well now all modes do it.
