Consumer Description

FROM A DEAD STOP OR TRYING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC WHEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR THERE IS A 2 TO 3 SECOND HESITATION NO POWER AT ALL, THEN TAKES OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AFRAID THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE WEB TALKING ABOUT IT, THEY ARE CALLING IT A DEAD PEDAL. HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO MAKE THIS A RECALL.
