The vehicle does not accelerate when commanded using the accelerator pedal, there is a revving then a sudden jerk forward. this happens when driving at low speeds, in stop and go conditions and when changing lanes or attempting to pass. the vehicle also has a tendency to jerk or surge forward in tight parking situations. there have recently been instances where my wife was almost jerked forward into a brick retaining wall. i have been almost jerked into the rear of vehicles in front of me while in stop and go driving situations. the vehicle has been into the dealership on 8 different occasions for this problem which they say "they can not re-create" the event or get a code on their diagnostic equipment for. therefore, they say they cannot do anything about it. also, they allege that they have driven the vehicle to try to recreate the event but the legal documentation they note the mileage on does not ever verify that. in short this vehicle is dangerous to drive on the freeway or in town and country driving situations. it creates undue stress on the driver and in many cases our passengers have been frightened when riding with us. please help *tr
Transmission slips and then surges. very frequently, when the accelerator pedal is depressed there is no acceleration without significant delay. the vehicle surges in heavy traffic situations and on more than occasion, has caused near accidents. the vehicle does this in stop and go driving situations as well as in freeway driving situations. there is no way to determine or tell when this will happen. it creates an extremely unsafe driving situation which if left unchecked could create a life threatening situation. this happens on an almost daily basis.
