Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Acceleration. When i accelerate it hesitates to pick up. Very dangerous as i was trying to merge into the highway or merge into a different lane it did not accelerate quickly enough and the vehicles in that lane had to brake hard as i entered that lane almost rear ending my vehicle. Even if i press the gas pedal hard it does the same thing, it hesitates before speeding up. Another issue is the door lock button from both driver and passenger sides work sometimes and doesn't work sometimes. Even when i'm driving the doors would not lock with the auto door lock feature on when vehicle gets in motion. I have to manually push the lock button for each door and when i manually lock the doors that is when the door lock/unlock buttons will work properly. Had children in the back seat and while i tried to lock the door it would not lock. Had to pull the vehicle over to hand lock each door. But very dangerous either way because i can't control what kids will do in the back in middle of the highway and if i try to lock the door i won't be able to. |
