Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD ACCELERATION ISSUES SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE G5. ONE INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO PULL ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY. AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE THE CAR STARTED JERKING ALMOST AS IF IT WERE OUT OF GAS, YET I HAD A FULL TANK. IT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OTHER THAN THAT, BUT THAT PARTICULAR TIME FRIGHTENED ME AND MY PASSENGERS. I NOTICE IT MOST OFTEN WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO GO UP HILLS. WHEN IT HAPPENS GOING UP HILLS, IT IS ALMOST LIKE I LOSE POWER. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC SITUATIONS. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW HARD OR SOFT YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR DURING THIS TIME, IT WILL STILL DO IT. *TR
