| Description of the problem | Sluggish accellaration. This has happened several times during the last 2 months. It has happen on a take off from a red to a green light. Where i'm completely stopped and from 0 mph speed i start to accellarate & the car feels like it stalls, almost as if it's getting no fuel. I can have my foot totally down on the gas pedal & the car hesitates or doesn't move at all. I had an incident where i was behind a semi truck, i attempted to change lanes fast before incoming traffic. The car did not move & i almost got hit from behind because the car would not speed up when i tried to accellarate. I've had my best friend in the car while this took place & he was very scared & so was i. I'm not sure if the fuel injectors are pumping the gas fast enough to get the car moving. Then again, what do i know. I'm a girl. All i know is, something is wrong with this car & it's not safe to drive. This does not happen every time but it happens quite too often. I'm to the point now where i don't trust passing other cars and i'm extra cautious when having to pass cars or from lane to lane. I don't trust this car. I've contacted the dealership today & have an appointment to meet with max at the dealership in anaheim hills, ca. I'm hoping i can have an early termination of my lease or get into another car (hopefully a safe car). |
