| Description of the problem | Randomly, when accelerating from a full stop, the car will move a couple of feet then lose all acceleration power. Stepping harder on the gas pedal does not work. The only way to get the car to accelerate is to entirely disengage and re-engage the gas pedal. This does not happen all the time, no lights or warnings come on and nothing shows up when the repair people hook it up to a computer. This is a huge safety factor as it usually happens when turning left (does not happen when turning to the right. Usually, when turning left, a person has traffic coming at them from the right. I have tried several things such as easing on the accelerator, stepping quicker on the accelerator, easing then stepping quicker, nothing seems to matter it still just loses all propulsion at random time but only when starting from a full stop. This happens generally on the city streets and always from a full stop. This began when i got the car (new, only 27 miles on it) |
