Consumer Description

INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STARTING TO DRIVE AFTER BEING STOPPED AT LIGHT OR STOP SIGN THE ENGINE WILL HESITATE AND BOG DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT "KICKS IN" AND THEN THERE IS A "SURGE OF POWER". THIS IS VERY ANNOYING AND ALSO VERY DANGEROUS AS SOMEONE COULD EASILY GET REAR-ENDED OR WORSE YET GET CAUGHT IN THE INTERSECTION IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE IS ALSO VIBRATION AND SHUTTER AT CERTAIN SPEEDS AND SEEMS TO BE WORST WHEN ECO MODE KICKS IN AND WHEN DRIVING CONSERVATIVELY. THERE IS ALSO A PULL IN THE STEERING UPON ACCELERATION. *TR
