| Description of the problem | From day one that i got my car i noticed that there is a hesitation when trying to accelerate, you can push the gas pedal and nothing happens until you advance the pedal further and then it wants to take off like you pushed it to the floor. It will loose power during driving if under 45 miles per hour. When in traffic, it is very dangerous because trying to creep with the car it will not do anything when you softly push the pedal, and will try and take off when you advance it. Almost rear ended the care in front of me because of this. This is a very problematic situation as well as dangerous. Standing still or in motion this continues to happen city and highway |
