My car hesitates (feels like it will stall) frequently on acceleration after slowing down or coming to a stop. This is a safety hazard especially when making left turns, etc. The dealership can not find a problem with it, but the problem does exist. This problem started at about 5000 miles and continues.
Vehicle has 25k miles. While driving a low speeds the car stalls out and then accelerates forward causing us to hit the breaks. I have had very close calls with accidents due to the stalling and uncontrolled acceleration. The dealer states there is nothing wrong.
