| Description of the problem | Engine hesitates on acceleration, especially from a dead stop, leaving me stuck in the oncoming lane for several seconds. This is a recurring problem and is very dangerous! It? S virtually impossible to accelerate without feeling hesitation and surging. It feels like the car is very slow to go into gear and then lunges to catch up. This happens in all weather and all driving conditions, it happens every day. Very disappointing performance for a car i bought brand new. |
