| Description of the problem | On four separate occasions while stopped on a steep incline the light turned green and i stepped on the gas and there was no response from the engine for about 3 seconds. This caused me to role backwards then when the engine engaged, it lounged forward almost hitting the car in front of me. The vehicle was taken to the dealership but they could not replicate the situation for a lack of hills therefore nothing was done. This could be a real problem for someone not expecting the situation to happen. |
