| Description of the problem | If you slow down then try to speed up the vehicle hesitants at some point it bangs into gear then takes off. I almost was in an accident trying to merge into traffic from a ramp onto a major highway when i applied pressure to the gas pedal the vehicle did not speed up it was like it was stuck in a low gear and would not accelerate this caused the person behind me to swerve around me so he could get ahead of the speeding traffic then my vehicle had a loud bang as it finally went into gear and took off like a bullet. Scared the hell out of me. So yielding in this vehicle is extremely dangerous. I know this happens so i am very cautous when driving as this could cause a major incident to happen and it is scary. I had several recalls on this vehicle and had them all fixed. Took this to be fixed, but they can fix it. They knew exactly what i was telling them as they were getting complaints from other owners. Stop and go traffic and slow and go traffic is everyday life this is extremely dangerous to myself and others. |
