Description of the problem	The vehicle has severe acceleration problem, with uneven and unpredictable acceleration when starting the vehicle from a stop. The problem developed after the vehicle was 2 weeks old. The vehicle was taken into the dealership after the check engine light turned on. The dealership stated it was an issue in the secondary air system, but they were not sure what and could not fix it at that time. The check engine light then turned off. The vehicle was taken in to two subsequent dealerships with the same issue, but the dealership stated the car was reporting no problem, and the check engine light was not turning on. A third dealership found a faulty valve in the secondary air system, despite the car reporting no issues and the check engine light failing to be lit. Despite the replacement of the part, the vehicle still has unpredictable and unacceptable acceleration, which poses a severe safety risk when pulling out into traffic. When i expect the vehicle to accelerate, it does so at an extremely tepid pace, causing traffic to need to slow rapidly behind the vehicle. Other time it begins to accelerate normally, and then stalls in acceleration. This again poses a safety risk to the driver and surrounding traffic.
