| Description of the problem | I was making a left turn (from a stop sign) out of my neighborhood and the car hesitated then, all of a sudden it rev'd up, and shot forward. I'm sure the neighbors thought i was hot rodding. This happened again on a separate day when i was waiting to turn left at a traffic light. There was a pickup truck coming from the opposite direction, but he was far enough away, so i gave it some gas to start my turn. My car hesitated and i thought the pickup was going to hit me, but then my car rev'd up and lunged forward as previously. I thought that maybe it had something to do with making left turns, but one day i was driving about 40 mph on a 45 mph level road and i gave it gas to increase my speed to 45 ---- the same thing happened ---- hesitation, rev'd up, lunged forward. It still does it, but i'm trying to be very careful driving it because i don't know if i'm going to be the next traffic fatality, or worse, cause someone else to be killed or maimed. I also told the service rep when i took my car in for regular maintenance and asked if they could check it. He told me they had checked it and it's okay. I looked at the service report but, i couldn't find where they had checked it. I started looking for info via the internet on this problem and found other sites that had people complaining about it. So, the next regular maintenance i took my car in for, i mentioned it to the service rep and told him about all the complaints i've read concerning this problem of hesitation, etc. I said it seems that it must be normal for this car and that's why the mechanic said it was okay. He agreed that it's normal for this car, but i have nothing in writing that he said that or that the problem was even checked. You never know when it will happen. It happens in all three driving modes. Check: https://www. Cargurus. Com/cars/discussion-m7_ds895703 |
