Power train, Sep 6, 2026
Hesitation and jerking when holding a steady throttle causing popping to come from the exhaust. May cause me to crash due to inconsistent power and control. I reported it to the dealer. They didn't inspect it and only called the tech line. They reported back to me that its a normal operation.
