| Description of the problem | Sometimes when pressing the accelerator, the vehicle will act like it is trying to choke out and will shudder and/or hesitate. This can occur when trying to climb an incline or when merging into traffic from a slowed down or stopped standing. This can be seen in a shudder in the tachometer needle and feels terrible. There is great concern on my part that it will happen to do this at a moment that my children are with me and will cause me to be hit by another vehicle. The occurrence is unpredictable but is incredibly noticeable. I have been told by the dealership many times that this is normal and that no one else has reported a problem. I cannot imagine that anyone would buy this vehicle given how easily the problem is noticed. It is unnerving. |
