| Description of the problem | Occasional throttle no response when trying to accelerate moderately from a stop, or from a very low speed (i. E.-coasting around a 90 degree turn with the engine at idle speed.) i then push heavily on the accelerator pedal, and it revs up, downshifts, and races ahead. It is dangerous, in traffic. I have brought it to the dealer twice, and they cannot reproduce the problem. Two so called factory reps rode around with me the second time, with a computer connected. Diagnostics shows no error codes. |
