Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Purchased vehicle with 3000 miles. Noticed that i would merge into traffic and try to accelerate but the car would shake and not accelerate right away (like a loss of power). Then it would stop and accelerate normally. I had an old an old car for a long time so i thought it was just me not being able to handle a new car. However the problem happened frequently, and it is a little alarming if you are merging on the interstate and can't get the expected speed. I have taken it in 2 times and they cannot figure out what is wrong with it. All the computer data comes back okay. I took it in for the brake recall and of course that did not fix it. They are willing to fix but do not know of a fix. Currently the car still does this, mostly during 20 mph and when i am going through a round about or turn. |
