The problem of delayed acceleration. The problem occurs when the vehicle does not seem to accelerate for a short period of time. When I'm at a stop. and I depresses the pedal. The vehicle does not rev. It does not do anything for a few seconds. Even with increased force on the pedal, the vehicle does not move. The second concern is that, once it does move, it does so significantly with a jolt. This means that, after a few seconds of not functioning, the vehicle will suddenly accelerate quickly. This can create an increased risk of an accident.

While driving home and just entering my neighborhood, I noticed a low tire warning on my dashboard. I looked at the pressure and there was approximately 26 pounds still in the tire and the closest place to fill up was at my house. While approaching a right turn in the neighborhood and because of the winter weather conditions of snow and ice on the road, I slowed down to a crawl and applied my brake prior to and while turning. While in the beginning of my turn, I instantly realized that I had no control of my car and I slid into a snow bank on the side of the road. There is no doubt that I was going too slow for my car to slide. I was right down the road from my home so I continued home thinking I could not have had significant damage; however, as I was driving, my ride did not feel normal even though I was traveling at a very slow pace. When I got into my garage, I found my tire was completely flat and the damage was significant to my front driver side bumper. The next morning I removed my tire to see where the puncture was and if it was repairable. Upon further inspection and while filling the tire with air, I realized there was no hole in the tire but there was a fast air leak at the rim. On monday morning, february 15, 2021 I brought my tire in for repair. I have no doubt that a defect exist in my tire and when I looked to see if there was a recall, I realized that the same tire I have on my vehicle is shown on the recall list but it is for 2019 tires and not 2018. Please look into my complaint and concern. If I had been traveling on a highway, I could have easily been killed. I had no control over my vehicle when the air went out at the rim. My tire is a continental contiprocontact p215/60r16 94t all season dot 6yx8 3yd 2018. The tire says made in slovakia. Other numbers on the tire were 3-979 84579 230385 e4 0231843.
