Consumer Description

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE THERE IS A DELAY IN STARTING THEN WHEN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE VEHICLE JERKS OR STALLS LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE. ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION DO NOT SEEM TO MAKE IT STOP OR FIX THE ISSUE. OCCASIONALLY WHEN GOING UP HILL THE VEHICLE WILL HIT 4RPM LIKE IT IS UNABLE TO SHIFT AND NEITHER ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION FIX THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER CLIMBING THE HILL. THERE ARE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON AND NO CODES TO BE READ. I HAVE TRIED GAS TREATMENT AND TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND 2 MECHANICS AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY IT IS DOING IT OR HOW TO STOP IT.
