Consumer Description
Hello. I recently took my car to the authorized mechanic and had them check on an issue I am experiencing. For some reason, my car frequently hesitates when I go from a complete stop/slow roll to accelerate. For example, if I am stopped waiting to turn, often when I push the gas to accelerate, the car will begin to accelerate and then basically stop. When this has happened, I've pushed my foot down to the floor on the pedal before to make it go and it refused to go for about 20 or so seconds. Additionally, if I am in slow moving traffic and traffic begins to speed up, my car will hesitate to go forward when I try to accelerate. This is a huge safety concern. The mechanic was not able to replicate this issue, but it happens every day or every other day. It makes me scared to drive because it's almost caused accidents. I read I'm not the only one with this issue and honestly, it's a miracle no one has died yet as a result of this faulty issue.
