| Description of the problem | Upon accelerating between first and second gear (7-15) miles an hour, especially after breaking, the vehicle hesitates as if it was in neutral. The rpm's go up but the car does not move. This mainly happens when making a right hand turn when not fully stopping. I also have had it happen when making a left hand turn going across traffic trying to get across the intersection. I have taken this vehicle in numerous times and the problem has never been reproduced by the service tech. I have taken them out on a drive along only to not reproduce it also. This is my main vehicle i drive my four children around in and i would hate to have this issue occur when i really need to accelerate and cause an accident. Apparently, i am not the only individual who owns this vehicle that had witnessed this hesitation problem. I believe this problem warrants further investigation and a possible recall/fix. This happens almost ever time i drive this vehicle. |
