Consumer Description

SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I SLOW TO TURN OR SLOW IN TRAFFIC THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND. WHEN I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, IT BUCKS AND SURGES FORWARD IN A JERKING MOTION. ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMEONE FOLLOWING BEHIND ME IN A TURN COULD RUN INTO ME OR IN TRAFFIC , I COULD SUDDENLY SURGE INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE ONLY REPORT I GOT WHEN I PICKED IT UP WAS THAT THEY HAD RE-PROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER AND TEST DROVE IT. THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO AND NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. EVERY INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON CITY STREETS. I AM ALARMED ABOUT THE OTHER REPORTS I AM SEEING ON THIS AND SIMILAR LOSS OF CONTROL ISSUES.
