Description of the problem | This vehicle has trouble accelerating. When at a stopped position or driving at low speeds and you try to accelerate the car sputters, jumps, and almost stalls out. This is extremely unsafe and increases the likelihood of being hit from behind by another vehicle. We have had this vehicle back to the dealer three times. They are either very inept or just aren't concerned about actually fixing this issue. My daughter took the vehicle in once and they told her she had to drive the vehicle for 1000 miles and the car car would fix itself. My sister owns this same vehicle and is having the exact same issue. |
