“There has been many times that when I needed the car to accelerate it wouldn't, nearly causing an accident several times. What usually happens is I will come up to a corner to make a turn and instead of stopping I accelerate to avoid oncoming traffic only to have the car hesitate . Sometimes I have had to push the accelerator peddle to the floor and even then it takes some time for the car to move faster. Also I have found that in traffic I will need to accelerate to avoid a collision only to find the car does not downshift and seemingly hesitating. …”
