Brand new owner - first owner; Car accelerated numerous times during ownership that caused harm to both my young son and I life.

When I accelerate from a stop or while moving on a roadway, the engine seems to stall. I'm not talking about the normal turbo spooling stall. It lasts for about 3 to 5 full seconds.

And sometimes I wonder if there is some type of fume radiating from the dash itself. #2. The throttle body issue-apparently I am not the only one who is having the issue, sometimes it takes off, sometimes it doesn't push air through and there is a 2-3 seconds delay which can cause an accident especially if you are crossing an intersection. I almost got hit twice
