| Description of the problem | I was sitting in a line of cars to get on the freeway i merge into traffic to have the car stumble and jump and wont go, i was almost rear ended when the car decided to take off like a rocket and i almost hit the car in front of me, this has been an ongoing issue since i bought the car new in 2016 and has continued to get worse, this was the first incident about 6 months after i got it, i took it in the dealer, they had a recall and fixed it for a while, then this same thing happens all the time on a daily basis, under normal driving conditions its dangerous because you dont know what the car is or isnt going to do, will it go when i need it to ? Or stall thats the huge question, i have had it to the dealer 4 times to have them tell me they all drive like that and they don't know how to fix it or what to do, i have gotten reluctant to drive it only when i have to because im afraid it will stall or leave me stranded, this morning im coming to work and stopped at a sign, then when it was clear i go well no i dont because the car acted like it was stuck, i was in the middle of the street and it finally caught and took off, i am a very cautious driver so all of this happening im extremely careful in heavy traffic, but something has got to be done |
