Consumer Description
I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN PRESSING DOWN ON THE THE ACCELERATION PEDAL THERE IS SOMETIMES AN EXTENDED DELAY AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALWAYS, BUT I HAVE READ THAT ALOT PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE CAUSE. PERSONALLY, AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, TURNING OFF AND TURNING ON THE CAR SEEMS TO ALLOW IT TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. MY SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE WITH THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN A TWO WEEK SPAN. I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED DOWN ON A REGULAR TWO WAY ROADWAY. AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, AND THE RPMS WOULD JUST GO UP. THIS SAME EXPERIENCE HAPPENED ANOTHER TIME AS WELL. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AS A POSSIBLE RECALL FOR SOME PROGRAMMING ON THIS CVT TRANSMISSION, AS THIS COULD BE A VERY POTENTIALLY BAD RISK, ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE LOSING THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE CAN RESULT IN MAJOR ACCIDENTS/DEATHS.
