| Description of the problem | The slightest touch of the gas will cause it to lurch forward, but also it lags, you can push the acceleration deep and still not much response. Usually this is what happens i'll back out of the driveway, put into drive, touch the gas, and it will lurch. Back off the gas lurch again. Full stop and then the car will run just fine. I have had the car into the dealer they say they can not find a problem. |
