| Description of the problem | The engine periodically will stall for 2-3 seconds, usually when starting a left turn from a stop. This can prove hazardous in a busy intersection. This has been going on since i bought the car 12 october 2015. The dealer stated the "hesitation" was a normal function of the engine computer's "acclimation" to the driver. It hasn't adjusted to me, and i'm afraid to let my wife or daughter drive the car. |
