“When accelerator pedal does not always get car moving. There is hesitation. At a stop, put pressure on accelerator pedal, car doesn't move, but then will engage after a some seconds, and jump forward. I've been at a stop either stop sign or red light and if on a hill, will roll backwards because I cannot get any acceleration in car. When driving on highway, will sometimes stall out, but will then pick up acceleration.”
