Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS INCONSISTENT ACCELERATION THAT IS DANGEROUS. WHEN ACCELERATING, PARTICULARLY FROM A ROLLING STOP OR SLOW SPEED BELOW 10MPH, THERE WILL BE A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. WHEN THE ENGINE DOES ENGAGE IT TAKES OFF 'LIKE A ROCKET'. IT DOES NOT ALWAYS DO THIS, WHICH MAKES IT SO DANGEROUS. HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING INCONSISTENTLY FOR 9 MONTHS AND MORE THAN 20,000 MILES AND IT CONTINUES.
