We've had it into the shop around a half a dozen times for the lunging problem. You never know, but I think it's been reprogrammed. I've got a hypothesis that it has a different problem (like a throttle position sensor issue) but they keep following the service bulletins that pertain to our "complaint". I mentioned this the last time I had it in for the lunging problem. When we got it back we were told that the program was up to date. I don't believe they checked anything else. The difficulty in resolving the lunging issue is that it doesn't do it every time. It does occur many times a week, however. It's like you press the peddle down half way when you try and start out slow. It's a serious safety issue. Not to mention a real embarrassment when people are riding with you.
