Description of the problem | When i accelerate there is no power for 1-2 seconds, and this is not the same thing as the slight delay experienced as the car changes gears. It is a complete lack of power even when the gas pedal is pushed. Very alarming. The problem is becoming more frequent over the past two months of use (1st time in january - later times in feb. And march--winter in the midatlantic region). Happens at slower speeds (accelerating at 25-30mph to cross lanes of city traffic), and it happens at higher speeds (accelerating at 50-65mph to merge into interstate highway traffic or overtake a slower car in same lane on interstate). Because i do not drive the car very often, and most of my trips are at slow speeds for short distances, i initially overlooked/dismissed the problem. But is it becoming more noticeable (longer period without acceleration power), more frequent (occurs more often when using the car) and dangerous (can happen anywhere, any time and at any speed). I suspect i am reporting this problem later than other tucson car owners because i do not drive much. I've owned the car for 11 months and it has 3,700 miles on it. Problems started showing up around 3,500 miles. |
