Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2015. RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ACCELERATOR I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT JUST STOPS ACCELERATING IF I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PRESS DOWN AGAIN IT KICKS BACK IN, IT DID THAT SEVERAL TIMES. THE OTHER DAY I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PRESSED BACK DOWN AND IT WENT. I SEARCHED THE ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT IS MY WASTEGATE ACTUATOR SENSOR. I'VE READ SEVERAL FORUMS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I HAVE ALSO SEEN SEVERAL PEOPLE SAY THAT IT WAS A RECALL ON THEIR VEHICLE. I CALLED TODAY AND SEARCHED RECALLS ON MY CAR. IT IS NOT LISTED AS A RECALL.
