2014 FORD FOCUS Engine Problems

STARTED IN 2015 TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED/VIBRATED/HESITATION ON HIGHWAY, LACK OF POWER, CAR WOULD JERK LIKE I HAD BEEN IT ON HIGHWAY, ONBOARD COMPUTER WAS RE PROGRAMED IN OCTOBER OF 15 AND AGAIN IN JAN OF 17. CAR IS NOT STORING COMPUTER CODES WHEN IT ACTS UP. ON 7/17/18 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON I CALLED DEALER GOT AN APPOINTMENT FOR 7/17/18, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF BEFORE THE DEALER SAW THE CAR, AND THE ON BOARD COMPUTER DID NOT STORE A CODE FOR THEM TO FIGURE IT OUT. WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER I DID NOT GET A BLOCK WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING, I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK TO THE DEALER HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE, I TRIED A HALF DOZEN TIME TO BACK UP INCLUDING TURNING OFF THE ENGINE....

OUR WELL MAINTAINED 4 YEAR OLD FUSION WITH 1.6L ECOBOOST, STARTED MAKING NOISE, ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, SMOKE CAME POURING OUT. FORD DETERMINED CRACK IN ENGINE BY CYLINDER HEAD TO BE THE CAUSE. FORD INFORMED US OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A RECALL, AND OVER WARRANTY MILES (80K). WE HAVE RESEARCHED AND LEARNED OF THE 1.6L ECOBOOST ENGINE RECALLS BECAUSE OF RISK OF CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD/ENGINE. OUR LOCAL SM TOLD US FORD WAS LIKELY TO COVER ALL BUT $700 OF THE REPAIR, THEN THE NEXT DAY INFORMED US FORD WOULD ONLY AGREE TO PAY 1400 TOWARD NEW ENGINE, WITH US RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINING COST. FORD REFUSED COVERING OUR RENTAL. WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE VEHICLE FOR NEARLY 3 WEEKS NOW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND THE RPMS SUDDENLY INCREASED, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SPEED UP AGAIN. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO VISTA FORD LINCOLN OF OXNARD (1501 AUTO CENTER DR, OXNARD, CA 93036, (805) 983-6511) AND THEY RE-CALIBRATED THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCE IMPROVED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND WORSENED.

MY FORD FOCUS 2114 KEEPS STALLING AT RANDOM WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY I NEEDED IT TOWED TO JACK MADDEN FORD NORWOOD MASS 2 TIMES BUT IT HAS STALLED AND WOULD EVENTUALLY RESTART. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED ALL 3 TIMES THAT IT WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP.BUT IT STILL HAPPENS IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON 11/02/2018. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE BEFORE I OR A FAMILY MEMBER GETS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. THANK YOU.ALWAYS MOVING

THIS CAR SUFFERS FROM THE POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT CAUSES DANGEROUS JERKING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD REGARDING THIS AND THEY STATE THIS CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF WHICH WILL RUN 2K. THIS CAR WAS JUST PURCHASED USED 3 MONTHS AGO AND IS DANGEROUS. HOW THIS CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

THERE IS A CLUTCH MALFUNCTION ON THE CAR. CAUSING THE CAR TO HESITATE,SHUDDER, OR RATTLE UPON ACCELERATION.

I PAYED $372.24 FOR A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WERE ENGINE WAS STALLING,VAPOR MANAGEMENTVALVE WAS REPLACED.NOW THERE IS A RECALL THAT IS NOT COMPLETE.WHY AM I BEING CHATGED FOR THIS RECALL?I WOULD COME TO A STOP SIGN OR A RED LIGHT AND MY CAR WOULD TURN OFF.THIS IS NOT FIRST TIME I TAKE MY CAR TO FORD I ALSO HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR TRANSMISSION RECALL.

DRIVING AND VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN AFTER A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF CAR. A BUNCH OF CODES FLASHED ACROSS THE DASH . VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. HAD TO TOW IT HOME. THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT STAYS ON NOW WHEN I TURN KEY ON.

TAKATA RECALL AMONGST THE KNOWN RECALLS, IS A LOT OF UNSAID ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT STARTED WITH THE TCM. WHEN I HAD THE DEALER FIX IT, THE CODES WERE SHOWING OK BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO DISPLAY THE SAME ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. FOR SOME REASON WHEN DRIVING, IT SEEMS AS IF I'M DRIVING A MANUAL VEHICLE INSTEAD OF A AUTOMATIC. THE CLUTCH IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. IT TEND TO GET STUCK IN THE HILL ASSIST MODE. A FEW WEEKS AGO MY CAR JUST DIED. IT SEEMED TO BE THE BATTERY. WHEN REPLACED IT WAS OK FOR A DAY OR SO. I HAD IT CHECKED TO SEE IF MY ALTERNATOR WAS BAD. IT BOTH PLACES STAYED IT WAS FINE. PERIODICALLY IT WOULD STOP. IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE THERE WHERE ANY DETERMINING FACTORS ON WHEN (LIKE COLD OR HOT WEATHER). SO I DROVE IT LESS. ONE DAY WHEN DRIVING,...

HELLO, I'M SEEKING HELP FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT AS I AM AN OWNER OF A FORD 2014 FOCUS. I'VE HAD THREE TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2014. USUALLY THE CAR BECOMES UNSTABLE/JERKY WHEN DRIVING WHICH SIGNALLED A CLUTCH REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS AFTER TWO MORE CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS THE TRANSMISSION/ENGINE CEASED WHILE DRIVING IN TOWSON MD INNER CITY STREETS. THE FIRST BEING EXACTLY OVER TWO WEEKS AGO AND WHICH A NEW CLUTCH WAS INSTALLED. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND TWO DAYS LATER CALLED THE DELEARSHIP STATING IT IS STILL NOT DRIVING RIGHT. I COULD FEEL SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I NOTICED SUDDEN JERKS AND WHAT SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS WEARING OFF AGAIN. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE PERSON MIKE MAZOR THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THE ADAPTIVE SYSTEMS WILL HAVE TO GET USED TO MY DRIVING PATTERN AND TO GIVE IT 1000 MILES....

CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE MOVING 25 MILES AN HOUR ON A LOCAL STREET.. BATTERY WAS FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY. WHEN LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER WAS TOLD STARTER MOTOR WAS DEAD, THIS ALSO LATER CONFIRMED BY REPAIR TECHNICIAN AT ANOTHER FACILITY (RIVERSIDE SERVICE). STARTER MOTOR WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF COMPLETELY WHILE IN MOTION. AT THE SAME TIME STARTER MOTOR WAS REPLACED, 2 IGNITION COILS WERE IDENTIFIED AS FAILED OR FAILING. IN THE LAST 9 MONTHS A TOTAL OF 4 IGNITION COILS HAVE FAILED. FORD HAS NOT IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE, MERELY REPLACED BROKEN PARTS. THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED IN ANY WAY THE DANGEROUS CONDITION POSED BY MY CAR'S STALLING ON AN ACTIVE ROADWAY.

VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT PROMPTLY, RPM'S REV OVER 3 TO 4 RPM'S BEFORE SHIFTING CASING JERKING, SHUDDERING, JOLT CAR BACKWARDS COMING TO A SLOW AND STEADY STOP. RED WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH CONSOLE INDICATING EMERGENCY PROBLEM & UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

HAVE A 2014 FORD FOCUS HAS MANY RECALL NOW TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AND IT'S IN SHOP.

WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, I BELIEVE THE TRANSMISSION IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING GEARS. IT SHAKES REALLY BAD WHEN I'M GETTING UP TO 20 MPH THEN IT SOME WHAT STOPS. THE CAR WILL IDEAL REAL LOUD OR THE RPMS WILL GO UP HIGH FOR NO REASON WHEN I'M AT A STOP. SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL GO UP HIGH WHEN I'M ON CRUSE CONTROL AS IF I'M PRESSING THE GAS DOWN (FAST AND ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND) BUT I AM NOT.

ALL SINCE PURCHASE IN JAN 2014. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF NEW PURCHASE: ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ERRORS UNKNOWN TO FORD, NEED FOR TRANSMISSION SWAP, 2 OR 3 RECALLS RE TRANSMISSION AND DOOR REPLACEMENT, HORN STOPPED WORKING (WHILE IN 65MPH TRAFFIC I95 AND ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT). CONSTANTLY IN SHOP AND CONTINUAL ISSUES WITH STALLING (ONCE, STOPPED IN 65MPH TRAFFIC ON MAJOR INTERSTATE I95 IN LEFT LANE), SYNCH AND PHONE SYSTEM HAS NEVER WORKED CORRECTLY. 3 WEEKS AGO, AFTER STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN PHILADELPHIA, DEPRESSED GAS PEDAL AND WENT IN TOTAL REVERSE! DID THIS TWICE BEFORE COMPLETELY TURNING CAR OFF AND HAD TO BE TOWED.

THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE POWER CLUTCH WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED OR DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND JERK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE POWER SHIFTER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND OFFERED TO BUY-BACK THE VEHICLE AS...

MY CAR IS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IN REVERSE. IT IS NOT ABLE TO GO OVER 40 MILES PER HOUR. IT DOES A JERKING WHILE CHANGING GEARS. IT ALSO DO THIS WHILE IN PARK WITH KEY IN AND WITH KEY OUT. IT IS CURRENTLY AT FORD FOR REPAIRS AND THEY ARE STATING IT DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL. I CALLED YESTERDAY AND EMAILED TO EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND THEY STATED IT WAS ON THE LIST. NOW THEY ARE STATING IT IS OVER $2000 TO FIX.

CAR SHAKES VIOLENTLY AND JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING, CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED TWICE BEFORE FOR THIS PROBLEM, ONCE AT 29000 MILES, 2ND TIME AT 38000 AND NOW DOING IT AT 62000.

FROM A COMPLETE STOP TO MOVING THE VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF SHAKING WHEN GOING INTO FIRST AND SECOND GEAR ALSO THE BREAK LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOES NOT WORK BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WITH THAT LIGHT WORKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FOCUS. IN RAINY WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,500.

VACUUM SEAL ON GAS TANK IS FAULTY AND GETS AIR BUBBLES AND THE CAR CUTS OFF AT RANDOM. IT CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION YESTERDAY AND I ALMOST GOT HIT. I'VE REPORTED THIS ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES. SEVERAL OTHER ONES WERE RECALLED BUT NOT MY VIN NUMBER BUT IT'S THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS ENGINE DIES WHEN IT RAINS. IT STARTED TO RUN ROUGH WHEN IT RAINED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEN THE ENGINE DIED GOING 55 MPH WHEN IT WAS RAINING. HAD ENGINE WIRE REPLACED AND IT WAS FINE FOR A WEEK OR SO WHILE IT WAS DRY. 1ST TIME IT RAINED IT DIED AGAIN GOING 50MPH. TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND HAD CYLINDER AND COMPUTER BOX REPLACED (CRAZY ONLY 4 YEARS OLD). RAN FINE AGAIN UNTIL IT RAINED AND IT DIED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. WHEN IT DIES YOU ARE PUT IN A VERY BAD SITUATION. SOMEONE COULD DEFINITELY DIE. I GIVE UP. IT IS SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY BECAUSE WE PUT $800 INTO IT GETTING FIXED AND SO FAR NO LUCK. IF I KNEW IT COULD BE FIXED I WOULD TAKE IT IN. THE CAR DOES NOT RESTART WHEN IT GETS DRY OUT AGAIN. I...

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE

TRANSMISSION FAULTY . CAR WONT REVERSE . CAR DRAGS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. I ALSO RECEIVED A COURT NOTICE IN THE MAIL REGARDING POWERSHIFT DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOTIFICATIONS APPEARED ON MY CAR SAYING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM SERVICE ASAP.

I HAVE A 2014 FORD FOCUS THAT IS CURRENTLY HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP HOPING IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD FIX IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT WAS BUILT IN NOVEMBER OF 2013 AND THAT 14M01 ONLY APPLIES TO THOSE THAT HAVE CARS BUILT BEFORE JULY 3, 2013. MY ISSUE WITH THAT IS THAT FORD NOTED THAT "VEHICLES HAVING A BUILD DATE OF JUNE 6, 2013 OR LATER HAVE IMPROVED TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT SEALS THAT ARE NOT LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE LEAKS." OBVIOUSLY THEIR "IMPROVED TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT SEALS" ARE NOT IMPROVED SINCE MY CAR WITH 60,000 UN ABUSED MILES HAS ENCOUNTERED TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SEE WHAT MY LEGAL OPTIONS ARE WITH THIS LAWSUIT AS I DON'T THINK ITS RIGHT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THIS LAWSUIT. I BELIEVE THAT...

WHEN I COME TO A STOP AFTER DOING FREEWAY SPEEDS 70-75 MPH FOR 30 MINUTES IT GIVES ME A HIGH TEMP WARNING. WHEN I STOPPED TO CHECK UNDER THE HOOD IT DIDN'T LOOK, OR SMELL HOT, BUT THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATED HIGH TEMP IN THE ENGINE.

MY 2014 FORD FOCUS TRANSMISSION GETS HOT AND IS NOT CHANGING GEAR WHILE DRIVING AFTER I GOT IT FROM THE FORD DEALER SERVICE CENTER IN GA 01/2018. IT WON'T START BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION GETS HOT SO I HAVE TO LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE I CAN CRANK IT. IT CUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE BOUGHT A FRONT AND REAR DASH CAM TO RECORD AND UPLOAD LIVE VIDEO AND AN ADDITIONAL CAM TO FOR DASHBOARD TO SHOW THE RED (I) LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT THAT REMAINS ON WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAD A NEW BATTERY, TCM MODULE, CLUTCH AND CLUTCH MOTOR PUT ON 12/2017, BUT I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR, IT WON'T BACK UP HILLS, IT LOOSES SPEED, DON'T CHANGE GEARS, AGAIN, I JUST GOT IT OUT THE SHOP!!! I HAVE TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE, SO I AM VIDEOING EVERY TRIP IN...

WHILE UNDER WARRANTY I WAS DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THIS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES DURING THE WARRANTY AND 6 TIMES SINCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE STALLED FOURS TIMES AND THREE OTHER TIMES IT ALMOST STALLED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND ONLY ONCE THEY SAID THEY FOUND A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY REPLACED SOME SMALL PART BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. ONE OF THE TIMES IT STALLED I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH BOARD. IT SAID: ENGINE FAILURE SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. I SHOWED THAT PHOTO TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MECHANIC AT FORD. BOTH OF THEM SAID THE SAME THING: "I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE". MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE CAR...

I BOUGHT MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR A 2014 FORD FOCUS. I DECIDED TO GO WITH A NEW CAR TO HAVE LESS PROBLEMS IN THE LONG RUN. BOY WAS I WRONG. AFTER ONLY 25000 MILES MY CAR BEGAN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I THEN BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND OUT THAT FORD HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION MODULE. SO I HAD THAT REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. MY CAR NOW HAS 45000 MILES ON IT AND IT BEGAN CAUSING ME PROBLEMS AGAIN, SO I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SAME THING AS BEFORE. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. AFTER A DAY OF WAITING I RECEIVED A CALL ENTAILING ALL THAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. THIS TIME IT AS MUCH WORSE, MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH I WAS TOLD THIS WAS COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. NOW THE NEXT PART I...

THE FIRST INCIDENCE (2/26/18) WAS WHILE STOPPED ON A HIGHWAY OFF-RAMP, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND DRIVEN. ON A SECOND OCCASION (2/28/18), I WAS DRIVING AND IN MOTION ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE BRAKES AND STEERING WAS NOT AFFECTED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND RESTART THE ENGINE. PRIOR TO THIS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD SCHEDULED SERVICE ON THE CAR FOR 3/7/18 (THE EARLIEST THEY HAD AVAILABLE). THE CAR HAS HAD MULTIPLE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS IN THE FEW SHORT YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT.

WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS VEHICLE HESITATES BEFORE JERKING FORWARD. WHEN PLACING THE VEHICLE FROM PARK TO REVERSE, VEHICLE WILL NOT ENGAGE/MOVE IN REVERSE. CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO BEGIN DRIVING OR WHILE TRYING TO OPERATE BASIC FUNCTIONS ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY/RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

DRIVING MY 2014 FOCUS ENGINE SHUT DOWN ,PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF ROAD IN SNOW STORM ,ALL MOST HIT BY TRACTOR /TRAILER ,THIS WAS ON I- 376 IN PA ,AFTER FEW MINUTES CAR STARTED THEN STALLED AGAIN , THEN CAR STARTED AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON

THE CAPLESS GAS TANK IS TRAPPING AIR, CAUSING THE CAR TO "BURP" AND SOMETIMES TURNING ENGINE OFF EVEN WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS. BUT MORE FREQUENTLY LATELY. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND MY ENGINE CUT OFF FROM IT. WENT TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND THE SERVICE CENTERS KEEP GIVING ME THE SAME RESPONSE EVERYWHERE.

RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. CAR JERKS, WHEN STARTING UP FROM A STOP, LURCHES FORWARD. IN MOTIONS BOTH CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY, STARTING UP FROM A STOP.

WHILE DRIVING, OR WHILE GOING FROM A COMPLETE OR PARTIAL STOP TO ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE HESITATES THEN BUCKS. NO MATTER HOW MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE IS, THE LEVEL OF GAS IN THE CAR, OR THE TYPE OF ROAD BEING DRIVEN, THE CAR HESITATES AND STALLS FOR A MINUTE BEFORE ACCELERATING.
