Description of the problem | When starting from a full stop in drive mode "d" i pressed the accelerator and the car responded with almost zero power to accelerate. It just rolled forward as though i wasn't pressing the accelerator at all moving 1 to 2 mph. After 5 seconds of pressing the accelerator and the rpm climbing slowly, it would achieve normal driving power. Even at speeds of 20-30mph the initial response upon hitting the accelerator was the same lagging response. Applying the gas pedal felt like starting from a stop with a manual transmission in 5th gear. I stopped the vehicle several times, even shutting off the car, without any change in the behavior during my 10 minute drive. After leaving the car off for half hour the problem didn't yet return. |
