NHTSA complaint #11191485

Owner complaint summary

WHEN DECELERATING AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE STALLS AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH VEHICLE ACCELERATION PEDAL. ITS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN WHEN YOU SLOW AT INTERSECTIONS OR FOR A TURN AND THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT PAUSES AS IF THE ENGINE HAS DIED BUT ENGINE IS RUNNING, JUST NO RESPONSE WHEN YOU PUSH GAS PEDAL FOR ONE OR TWO SECONDS. ONE TIME WHILE TRYING TO PAS A SLOW TRUCK ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY, PULLED OUT TO PASS AND THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE, VEHICLE JUST STALL AS IF ENGINE HAD STOPPED AND WAS LEFT IN ON COMING TRAFFIC WITH OUT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS, VERY SCARY. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN DECELERATING AND THEN TRYING TO ACCURATE. VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST IMPACTED REAR OF MY VEHICLE WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC BUT VEHICLE STALLED. BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY AS WELL. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPENED TO ME AT LEAST TEN OR MORE TIMES WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN MY WIFE'S VEHICLE.
