| Description of the problem | Severe hesitation occurs when trying to accelerate form a stop. Hesitation occurs intermittently and happens when turning right or left. More likely to happen if the road surface that the vehicle is turning on to is rough. The vehicle will begin to accelerate and then lose acceleration. Although pressing the accelerator the car does not speed up even though the engine revs up. After about 3 seconds the vehicle then responds and begins to accelerate. Situation may occur 3 or 4 times a week. This is a safety concern because i have almost been hit from behind because the vehicle slows down without warning. |
