Consumer Description

I AM HAVING ISSUES AS STATED BY OTHERS WITH MY CAR HESITATING. I GO TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WILL HESITATE START SHAKING AS IT SHIFTS FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL EVEN FEEL LIKE IT IS STALLING OUT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AT LEAST TWO OR THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME THEY TELL ME THAT IS HOW THE TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSED TO BE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT. WHEN I LOOKED THESE PROBLEMS UP THE PREVIOUS YEAR MODELS HAD THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING TO THEM. I WANT THIS RESOLVED BUT THEY KEEP PUSHING IT OFF. I HAVE CHILDREN WHO I TRANSPORT IN THIS CAR AND I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE! IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE IT HAD ONLY 3,000 MILES AND I ONLY HAVE 16,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. ITS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX!
