| Description of the problem | When the car is stopped on any kind of incline, the car initially will not accelerate when the accelerator is pushed. Increased pressure results in a clunking sound and a jack-rabbit acceleration, very dangerous, especially if i turn right or left from an inclined stop. It was last reprogrammed due to a recall in december, 2020. The car has been to the dealer twice for reprogramming of the cvt. Each time the condition improves for 100-200 miles, then returns to its former condition and resulting problems as described above. The average mpg also fluctuates by as much as 10 mpg during the process. |
