Description of the problem | Upon pulling out of my neighborhood from a full stop, the suv was slow to accelerate. It seemed "sluggish", as if it was not switching to the proper gear and had trouble speeding up. Caused an oncoming car to have to hit the brakes to keep from hitting me, when i should have had plenty of time to pull out, under normal conditions. This has happened numerous times. It also happens while i'm driving down the road and try to speed up. This is an intermittent problem. I have taken it to ferman dodge twice now, and they tell me that they "hooked it up to the computer and could find nothing wrong with it", and when they test-drove it, they could not reproduce the problem. After researching this online, i have come across others who have also experienced this issue. I bought this vehicle new in november 2013, and it did not do this when i first got it. It now has only 3160 miles on it. I do not feel that it is safe to drive, considering its unpredictability. |
