| Description of the problem | Vehicle hesitates choosing a gear when accelerating from a near stop, causing it to act as if it were placed in neutral. When accelerating from a very slow i45 to an exit ramp lane, (changing lanes) vehicle stalled for a second or two, causing on coming traffic to hard brake. This problem is intermittent, and has happened numerous times. This incident is the only near miss.

With this vehicle's tendency to hesitate in traffic situations, this vehicle is not safe to drive. |
