Description of the problem	It takes a scary amount of time for the car to speed up when accelerating. The rpm module shows the acceleration but the vehicle doesn't actually speed up to match it. This is a safety issue especially when merging on to the freeway. An accident is bound to happen as i am not able to control the speed of the on coming cars and am unable to get my car up to speed to match the others. Also, the car randomly shuts down when stopped, a message saying please start engine manually pops up. This is also a safety concern and is bound to cause an accident as it happens a few times a month. A few months ago my car turned off when i stopped at the red light, a car was exiting the freeway as the light had turned green so they kept their high speed, i quickly turned my hazard lights on and the car had to swerve to the right lane to avoid rear ending me.
