Consumer Description

MY SUV HAS SUDDENLY LOSS ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING SPACE, STOP SIGN AND OUT OF A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT ONTO THE HIGHWAY. IT WILL SPUTTER LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING GAS AND TWO TIMES HAS COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE STILL IN DRIVE. I HAVE SMASHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO NO AVAIL NOTHING HAPPENED. THE SUV DIDN'T SPEED UP NOR START TO EVEN MOVE FAST. IT WOULD SLOWLY JERK ONTO THE ROAD, AND AS I SAID TWICE HAS CUT OFF ANOTHER TIME IT DID FINALLY GET GAS AND GO. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT NO CODES SHOWED UP ON THE MACHINE THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE SUV. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, BESIDES ME BEING NERVOUS TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC WITHOUT GETTING HIT BECAUSE THE SUV WON'T ACCELERATE DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS ALSO CUT OFF WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY IDLE. IT DOES START TO SHIMMER/SHAKE LIKE IT'S NOT IDLED HIGH ENOUGH AND THEN IT JUST CUTS OFF.
