Description of the problem | The transmission/engine hesitates/stalls while driving. Rough accelaration. The first time this happened i was driving on the freeway 65mph and notice the vehicle was driving weird when trying to accelerate, when i slowed down the car would shake when trying to gain speed again. I immediately got off of the freeway pulled into a parking lot to look the car over. Turned off the car to call someone, tried turning the car back on within 5 minutes and the car had completely locked down, had to call a tow truck to tow to dealer car had 21,000 miles on it. Dealer stated the issue would be fixed some type of update needed done to the transmission. The update did not fix the problem but the dealer states everything is working properly. The car still hesitates on acceleration. I bought the car for my teen driver but i am afraid to let him drive it because i don't know how safe the car is. There is a serious issue with how this car operates on acceleration. |
