“It has become more frequent for there to be a delay in acceleration of about 3 to 4 seconds when traveling uphill. My car lost acceleration while going uphill. As I was gradually accelerating from a red traffic light to climb a hill, my car became stuck at a certain speed, around 50 mph on April 3rd. Even when pressing the acceleration pedal to the maximum, it wouldn't accelerate. On March 2nd, while entering the freeway on an uphill section, my car suddently lost acceleration and slowed down for about 4 seconds before finally accelerating again. …”
