While in slow motion as trying to move over from an entrance lane to a traffic lane the car will stall (bogs down) when accelerating the gas. This happens also when trying to turn from almost a stop to accelerating. This happens on all type streets and highways. I have asked the dealership about this and they just say that this is normal. I bought the vehicle in late 2015 when 2016 vehicles had already came out and this problem has always existed and happens every day that it is driven. This problem is dangerous and have argued this with dealership to no avail.

The vehicle was on a public street in motion. Stalled while accelerating across the intersection to the point of almost being t-boned. This problem of hesitating to accelerate has occurred many times since I purchased the car only 1 month ago.
