Consumer Description

I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN SEP 2010. THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN I WAS STOPPED OR MADE A TURN COASTING SLOWLY, WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE DID NOT KICK IN FOR A SECOND OR TWO. WHEN IT DID IT JERKED HARD AND FELT LIKE IT SLAMMED INTO GEAR. THE DEALER COULD NEVER ID THE PROBLEM AND PUT IT OFF AS NORMAL. THEN VERY RECENTLY I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. IT KEEPS THE RPM'S AT AN IDLING LEVEL BUT DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL-LIKE YOU PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT APPEARS TO SELF CORRECT. THIS HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING SLOWLY ONCE AND AGAIN WHEN I WAS AT A STOP AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN TO A DEALER YET. *TR
