Consumer Description

ENGINE HAS A VERY BAD HESITATION DURING EXCELERATION, BOTH FROM A STANDING AND ROILLING START. HESITATION IS BAD ENOUGH TO CAUSE VEHICLE CONTROL PROBLEMS DURRING THE WINTER WHEN DRIVING ON SNOW OR DURING RAINY CONDITIONS. ENGINE HAS ALREADY HAD THE PCM MODULE REPROGRAMED AS PER OUTSTANDING SERVICE BULLETIN THIS FIXED THE ENGINE MISSING UNDER SAME CIRCUMSTANCE BUT DOES NOT CORRECT THE HESITATION. DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE 2 TIMES AND CANNOT FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM.
