Description of the problem	On 03/23/2019, when i was leaving a parking lot my car started to hesitate and would not rev up. I just turned out the parking lot when this happened. Message came on stated it need to be serviced. At the same time the engine light came on. I was not able to press the accelerator because it would jump like crazy. I was able to get back to the parking lot safely. I have been in a rental for a month now and as of 04/23/2019 i was told the part is on back order. The wiring harness and the computer has to be replaced, but the tech stated since the car went into limp mode the engine will need to be replaced. I was told the part will be in about 3 to 6 months. If the wiring harness does not work god only know how many more months it will take for a new engine to arrive. This car was only 9 months old but now 10 months old with one of the months being in the shop waiting for repairs.
