Description of the problem | There is a delay between when you hit the accelerator and when the car actually accelerates, which causes me to press harder and causes the car to jerk forward when it accelerates. There is also a very uncomfortable level of jerking when the car shifts gears. This is dangerous because when i want to make a left turn at a busy intersection or beat a yellow light the delay causes the car to take longer to speed up. Additionally, when accelerating at a green light because of the delay, i press harder on the accelerator and when the car actually starts moving it jerks forward at an unwanted speed and i have to then brake to avoid going faster than the car in front of me. Also, sometimes the car seems to stall when i press the accelerator and the rpms rev up to 5000 rpms, but the car doesn't move. I have had these problem almost from the time i bought the car. Not only is the car not enjoyable to drive - to say the least - it also may be unsafe. |
