“At 1800 miles, vehicle started to hesitate when pressing on gas pedal. When accelerating from stop, vehicle is hesitating and studdering very badly. This is affecting accelerating and causing a severe safety issue while driving. While at highway speeds, vehicle constantly is lunging hesitating when trying to merge into traffic. This has almost caused 3 accidents as in stop and go traffic, when pressing on gas to accelerate, car is shuddering and not finding right gear. Do not feel safe in car. Feels like car is going to stall out !!”
