Consumer Description

THERE IS A HESITATION (DEAD SPOT) WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELORATOR PEDAL,WHEN TRYING TO START ROLLING FROM A STOP. THE RPMS ACTUALLY FALL BEFORE THEY RISE. THIS ,WHILE LETTING OUT THE CLUTCH IS UNSAFE ,CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHEN THE POWER IS NEEDED THE MOST. HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE 9 TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY SAY ; 1)IT WILL GET BETTER WITH TIME 2)THIS IS AN INHERANT PROBLEM WITH THE 6 CYLINDER & MANUAL 3)CANT DUPLICATE (IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO MOVE) YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE GAS PEDAL IN ORDER TO GET PAST THE HESITATION AREA
