| Description of the problem | Intermittent loss of power (not stalling) during normal driving, entering roundabouts, changing lanes, etc. Problem is momentary and requires feathering the accelerator to regain power. Problem occurs during normal driving, turning either left or right , in city traffic speeds or on divided highway with speeds of 70+ mph. Brought vehicle back to dealer within weeks after purchase and was told they could find no problem. Now at about 8000 miles and problem persists. Cause of problem is unknown to me. A check of owners forum on internet revealed numerous similar complaints. Problem is very dangerous when entering roundabouts or changing lanes on high speed interstate highways. |
