The net of their complaint appears to be a complete void of response to an immediate strong throttle input in certain situations -- nothing happens for a much longer than expected time and then a rush of power. Owners have expressed dangerous experiences on the road by not having the vehicle respond...check out the thread on it.
I wish it came with a 6MT as that wouldn't have such an issue.

Thank you for the tip, sounds like a big concern, I wish we had data on how many cars are effected.
Some people say driving it with the paddles solves the issue but still...
