| While turning across traffic from e 2nd ave onto josephine st. the accelerator pedal was depressed to the just above the floor and no discernable acceleration response was noticeable for a second or two. when there was an acceleration response it was an explosive, 'off to the races' one. this incident took place after the dealer advised that: unofficial fixes (dme update and transmission adaptation) issue had been in place since the delivery of the vehicle; vehicle had been into the dealer to evaluate/address this issue three times; on the third visit the transmission control module was replaced/updated/adapted and dme control unit was remapped.*ak | |||

| While merging from highway 141 onto i-70 the accelerator pedal was depressed to accelerate from highway speed to merge into interstate traffic and no noticeable acceleration was apparent. the extremely concerning about this incident was that this merge was being executed between two 18-wheelers. while there was ample space to merge if the vehicle had responded without hesitation to accelerator pedal inputs, the experienced hesitation made the merge dicey.*ak | |||

| While pulling out from a parking lot into major city street the vehicle hesitated to respond to accelerator input with approaching traffic.*ak the vehicle moved off from a stop and into the closest lane fine but would not accelerate as more accelerator pedal was applied. there was noticeable delay/hesitation, as traffic bore down on me, before the cayenne decided to accelerate. contacted dealer who noted that there was an unofficial fix that may address the issue. | |||
