Not at those particular times.Were you in sport mode?
During regular everyday type of driving, I use Normal mode. I only switch into Sport mode when I am driving in heavy traffic and anticipate having to react to lunacy quickly. I find the 2.0 BS to be surprisingly quick even in Normal mode.
I haven't experienced this drastic lag again. But have only driven a handful of times since returning from Colorado, and not in those same conditions; high and hot.
Has anyone experienced heavy, high and hot in an airplane ? It's terrifying.
Crap gas could certainly be a contributing factor. On the 900 mile drive to CO I got an indicator lamp on the dash and almost immediate notification via the Ford App for "Malfunction Indicator Lamp- Regulatory" . This was at 75mph on the highway right after i fueled up so I was suspicious of the gas almost immediately. The owner's manual was scant on information as my passenger scrambled to find an explanation at cruising speed. Thankfully the Ford App gave some reasonable possibilities that calmed my frayed nerves. The App is a pretty cool feature by the way. I filled up a couple of times in Colorado before that indicator light finally went out, as the App instructions indicated it might.
As an aside, I changed my oil for the first time at 4k on Saturday. The factory oil was very dirty and full of gasoline. Both reportedly known DI issues.
Also, I have owned and driven a variety of turbo cars before, including my parent's Ford "Turbo Coupe" from the late 1980s.
"Turbo lag" - delayed onset, followed by a sudden rush of power, is different than the complete lack of any acceleration I experienced in the Bronco Sport on those two occasions in CO. Franky it was shocking and something I would hope not to repeat.
