“This is a recurring hesitation problem. I first noticed this when making a turn into traffic. The hesitation is significant. In some cases there is an acceleration pause of 1-2 seconds. This does not occur every time I accelerate but its lack of predictability is a problem in and of itself. I have come close to being rear ended because the car would just not move when I pressed the accelerator. Also, when the car windows are up and the car sits in the sun for a few hours the central nav and communication system over heats and will not function until it cools off (maybe 20 minutes). …”
NHTSA complaint #10372810, filed 2010-12, 150 miles“Vehicle suddenly loses acceleration and drops to a maximum speed of 20 MPH. Check engine light turns on but goes away after shutting down the car and leaving it on standby for a few minutes. Occurs every few hundreds miles. It's happened while the car is in motion, both on the street and highway.”

When traffic cleared, on releasing brake and trying to accelerate again the car would not engage in any gear. Brought the car to park position and turned off engine and tried to restart the car, the car would continue to be on starter mode even though the engine had started. After several tries the car restarted but the gear would not engage. …”
