MY VEHICLE ACCELERATES IN A FORWARD LURCHING MOTION. THIS UNCONTROLLABLE, SUDDEN, AND SPASMODIC THRUST AHEAD IS DANGEROUS AND IN TRAFFIC COULD/WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SMASH INTO ANOTHER CAR OR PERSON; I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SCARY, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. THE PROBLEM SEEM TO BE IN THE ENGINE'S SOFTWARE. WHEN ACCELERATION IS CALLED FOR THE TURBO CHARGER SLAMS INTO ACTION, ROUGHLY PUSHING THE CAR AHEAD. THE TURBO CHARGER'S CONTROLLING SOFTWARE NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED (DE-TUNED) TO ASSURE THAT ANY DRIVER WHO PRESSES DOWN THE GAS PEDAL WILL GET A SMOOTH AND STEADY INCREASE IN SPEED, NOT AN UNPREDICTABLE, UNSAFE THRUST FORWARD.
