| Description of the problem | When accelerating from a stop, this vehicle hesitates and then lurches forward with extreme uncontrolled acceleration. On wet or slippery pavement this vehicle is completely unsafe. I have read nhtsa web site and can see complaint after complaint on this vehicle, yet no recalls issued by nhtsa. Not sure why we are wasting my time, but at least when i am killed in this vehicle my wife will be able to now include nhsta in the lawsuit as you, the governing body, have now been officially informed of a safety defect! |
