 Description of the problemCar hesitates, vibrates & shakes when accelerating from a stopped position to low speeds. I do a lot of city driving, highway driving, driving in rural neighborhoods. I also, on my way, to and from work have to cross a set of railroad tracks & i am so worried that my car may get stuck on the tracks, or my car won't accelerate as it should at a traffic light or stop sign & the car behind me won't stop in time & there could be an accident & i/any passengers could be injured. Bottom line: i am extremely concerned for my personal safety in a relatively new vehicle - purchased in december of 2014. I shouldn't be having these problems in such a new vehicle. The first time i took it to the dealership, it was a recall, so they reset the computer system, said it would take 1,000 miles to relearn my driving. After the 1,000 miles, it went back to the shaking, vibrating & hesitating. 2nd time bringing it in, i had the manager of the service department ride with me & he felt the shaking, so, again, they reset the system again, gave me the info about waiting 1,000 miles to reset. After the 1,000 miles, it again, began shaking, vibrating & hesitating at low speeds. The service manager gave me his card & said if i had any problems, give him a call. 3rd time bringing it in, the service department had a mechanic ride with me. Said he felt the vibrations, shaking, hesitation. While at the service desk, he then had the audacity to tell me that the program relearns bad behaviors instead of the good ones. It shouldn't matter if i'm a good or bad driver, the car should run properly. And now (3/21/16), i have felt the worst shaking, vibrating & hesitation ever. I felt incredibly unsafe today. Plus i had a passenger in my car that means a lot to me. I really hope that this issue can get resolved before something horrible happens.
