Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My everyday experience with this vehicle includes - hesitation when accelerating quickly, jerking forcefully when accelerating slowly, random jerking while driving. It seems as though, even as an automatic car, i can feel every gear change. Especially on the freeway, i feel extremely unsafe when i attempt a lane change. When i put my foot on the gas to quickly speed up, my vehicle hesitates and does not match what i am doing on the pedal. The hesitation is especially dangerous for other vehicles on the road. I am extremely anxious when driving my vehicle because i do not feel in control. I worry that, at any point, it will hesitate or jerk forcefully, and cause harm to me, my passengers, and/or those in other vehicles around me. Please note that this is an ongoing problem. This was not a one-time occurrence. This does not just occur when driving at certain speeds. The hesitation and jerking occur daily.
