I was test driving a new 2017 chevy cruze...while attempting to accelerate to merge into traffic from the on ramp of the interstate, the car just revs up for like 5 secs before finally accelerating into traffic....this is a *****major flaw***** I thought the car had slipped into neutral....the lag time for the motor and transmission to engage is a highly****deadly****design failure...
