Description of the problem | Leased vehicle on 7/18/16. Noticed slight hesitation during acceleration shortly after taking possession of vehicle. On 7/28/16, i was in stop and go traffic on freeway going around curve. Traffic finally picked up speed. When i released my foot from the brake and stepped on the gas, the car wouldn't move and the rpm's were all over the place. I was panicking, fearful that i was going to be rear ended at any moment. I continued to press down on the accelerator, praying that it wouldn't rocket forward. It took approximately 20 to 25 seconds for the vehicle to move at all and finally kick into gear. I am totally traumatized by this situation and cannot even fathom putting my family in this vehicle. |
