Description of the problem | Intermittently the car does not respond when the accelerator is depressed. I am told by the dealership that this is a common problem with the cvt transmission. This is a major safety issue as i have almost been hit on several occasions when turning left or merging into traffic. If the accelerator is depressed more and more, the car finally lurches forward (or backward if backing up) and the brakes have to be slammed on. |
