Description of the problem | Was jerky when getting through 1st and 2nd gear. I thought that might be normal for a 4 cylinder, since i'd been driving a 6 cylinder for 20 years. Thought i just had to get used to it. 10 days from purchase, at ~ 300 miles, just filled up with fuel and was attempting to leave the gas station... Pressed on accelerator and nothing happened... Let up and pressed again... Nothing happened... Let up and pressed again... It started slowly jerking forward, into oncoming traffic, it kept jerking and slowly accelerated until i hit about 5 gear, then it smoothed out. Frightening! 26 days from purchase, at ~ 700 miles, from a cold start, backed out of driveway and put the car in drive... Revved through 1st and 2nd gear and hadn't moved yet... Hit 3rd gear and it jerked forward and started slowly moving. 30 days from purchase, @ ~ 816 miles, stopped for a red light... Light turned green and the car wouldn't move... Shifted through all of the gears (park, reverse, neutral, drive) several times... In drive for about the 4th time and stomped on the accelerator... It pealed out... Drove straight to the dealership... Jerkily pulled into a parking spot. Just over 3 hours later, was told they discharged the capacitor completely and "re-taught it" the system. Thought it might be fixed, but, i'm at day 37 and can swear that it hesitated yesterday and this morning. Will keep you abreast. This is a potentially deadly malfunction! |
