Description of the problem | When the engine does not respond to the throttle, you continue to depress throttle, then the engine begines to jerk and slowly accelerate. Engine appears to die when you are in the slow down situation. I have to press accelerator to the floor to get the car going. Getting on the highway, is very unsafe because you need a lot of room to accelerate because a v6 engine hesitated at the acceleration and even you already driving. Passing cars is not even an option, failure to accelerate quickly is not possible . Started experiencing it at 800 miles . Very unsafe, unpredictable, and a big dissapointment. |
