Description of the problem	There is an odd hesitation as if it does not want to go forward at idle after braking. If i press the gas, there is a delayed reaction and a lurch. This is scary! At times, when i am heavily braking to a stop i can feel my car lurching slightly when it unlocks before it comes to a stop. This lurching is most noticeable in stop and go traffic. When i take my foot off the gas to coast, it seems to slow the vehicle down very abruptly as if i was in the wrong gear. Even under light braking, these unexpected occasional forward lurches occurs. This is a real safety hazard, as i am not expecting the vehicle to speed up momentarily as i am braking. I notice that these lurches correspond to rpm blips and the mileage mpg goes to 11, 12, or 13. On the freeway while driving at a decent speed, say 50 - 70 mph, if i hit the gas to overtake someone, sometimes there is a hesitation before i get a change in the engine rpm (and speed). Finally, when i push the pedal to accelerate it often hesitates before revving up. The problem is that these issues does not occur all the time but enough to make me feel that this car is dangerous to have on the road.
