| Description of the problem | Car did not respond to throttle input for as long as 5 or 6 seconds this happening several times early on. The car now has 2300 miles and the symptoms have evolved to the car starting to move to approximately 5 miles per hour then falling on its face for 2 to 3 seconds before resuming speed almost causing a rear collision. The car has been back to the dealer twice one time for five days with the dealer unable to replicate the problem. I am very concerned that this issue could possibly cause a rear collision or an accident pulling into traffic. |
