Description of the problem | Transmission hesitation and shuddering on acceleration to merge into traffic on i95, vehicle failed to continue to accelerate forcing me to pull of the road to prevent being hit by semi truck that was coming up behind me. This and similar incidents have happened several times since i purchased the car i have taken the vehicle in for service 3 times since then each time told it operates within specifications but they reset the control module and flash the software give it back and it operates fine for several weeks. It is now in for the 4th time and they finally are replacing parts but i feel this vehicle is unsafe and have seen where others are having similar issues yet no one has done nothing. |
