Consumer Description

ON RANDOM OCCASIONS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THERE IS A 2 TO 5 SECOND HESITATION UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. I MOVE FORWARD A FEW FEET THEN NOTHING, THE ENGINE DOES NOT STOP BUT REMAINS IN IDLE MODE. THEN THE POWER SUDDENLY RETURNS AND THE CAR MOVES FORWARD. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, IN BOTH RAINY AND DRY CONDITIONS; GOING STRAIGHT OR MAKING BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS. ISSUE DOES NOT CAUSE WARNING LIGHTS TO COME ON, AND DEALER CAN NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. DIAGNOSTIC ARE ALL FINE. BUT THIS 2 TO 5 SECOND HESITATION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, I CAME CLOSE TO BEING HIT DURING ONE OF THESE "HESITATIONS" WHEN TRYING TO TURN ONTO A BUSY ROAD. *TR
