Consumer Description

PERIODICALLY THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO LOSE POWER OR HESITATED THEN ACCELERATE, I'VE NEVER HAD IT STALL OUT. ALTHOUGH IT HAPPENED A FEW TIMES EARLY ON THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN MORE FREQUENT LATELY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN ACCELERATING, FOR EXAMPLE ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLES TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE IDLES VERY ROUGH, IT HAS BEEN SINCE I BOUGHT IT BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE RECENTLY. I'VE MENTIONED IT TO THE TECHNICIAN WHEN I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL FOR A FOUR CYLINDER. I'VE HAD MANY CARS OVER THE YEARS 4 CYL AND 6 CYL AND I'VE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. I'VE READ SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME DESCRIPTION AS WHAT MY VEHICLE IS DOING. *TR
