Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS REPEATED STALLING PROBLEMS (ONLY ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR FROM LOW SPEEDS). THIS TROUBLE HAS BEEN REPORTED FOUR TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALWAYS SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. ON SEPT 21 MY WIFE WAS ALMOST HIT IN THE PASSENGERS SIDE WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO STALLED ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH A SERVICE TECH. INSIDE. THEY IMMEDIATELY SEARCHED FOR TROUBLE CODES AND FOUND NONE. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR OFTEN BUT IT OCCURS WHEN YOU HAVE TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR INTO TRAFFIC. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE WELL-BEING OF MY FAMILY AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT MAKING ANY REASONABLE OFFERS TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. ANY RESPONSE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *AK
