Description of the problem | I have been experiencing a lack of acceleration numerous times as i'm trying to merge into traffic on the highway and also as i try to accelerate from a stationary position waiting for a light and changing lanes also. Three months ago i took the car to the dealer and i told them of this problem and they said they will check it. When i picked up the car i was told that a reset was done to the computer to correct this issue. It is still happening. I have been in close calls numerous times and i don't feel safe for myself or others on the road because of this condition. I will be taking the suv to dealer again this weekend to have them check it again. I hope that a recall happens before someone has a fatal accident because of this issue. Suv has 19500 miles. |
