Consumer Description

THE ACCELERATION TAKES A LOT TO GO FROM 0-30 MPH AND WHEN IT DOES THE CAR FEELS AS THOUGH IT WILL STALL. VEHICLE IS SERVICED REGULARLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN THE DEFROST OR AIR IS ON. THE GAS PEDAL NEEDS TO BE ALMOST TO THE FLOOR FOR IT TO EVEN PICK UP AND WHEN IT DOES ACCELERATE IT JUMPS BETWEEN THE GEARS AND THE RPM REEVES UP AND THE VEHICLE IS SLOW TO MOVE.THE ENGINE FAN ALSO RUNS FOR 30 SECS, SHUTS OFF, 1-2 MINS LATER RUNS FOR 30 SECS AND SHUTS OFF. HAVE HAD ENGINE TEMP CHECKED AND NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR OVERHEATING BUT UNKNOWN WHY THE FAN RUNS ON HIGH ALL THE TIME AND IT TAKES AWAY THE POWER TO THE CAR.
