| Description of the problem | The car hesitates one to two seconds from a stop when the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly halfway or more as you would do to merge quickly into fast moving traffic. The problem can also be duplicated when moving slowly around 5 mph. This problem has existed since the beginning but now seems to be getting worse. I consider this a safety issue since the car does not respond as expected/required under all conditions. |
