The issue did not happen on a consist basis until last month. Everytime I drive my car hesitates. It takes a minute or two for my car to accelerate. It doesn't matter if I'm on a local road, interstate or going up a hill. The outcome is the same.
Hesitation and shuttering at low acceleration speeds. Hesitates at 20 miles an hour. Shuttering at 40-45 miles an hour. Been happening for years. Getting worse
Vehicle hesitates when accelerating. Shortly after starting my car, my car will hesitate to accelerate at around 20 MPH. It will not shift into gear and even if I push the gas pedal to the floor, it still will not go. I have to take my foot off the pedal and push it repeatedly to get it to go. Finally it will catch up and do so viciously. I have had this happen to me while pulling out onto the highway and almost got rear ended. I have a 14 month old daughter who rides in the backseat and I feel so unsafe. I have taken it to the dealership and to one other mechanic and they cannot duplicate the issue nor are any codes being thrown. Please recall this vehicle. Also, this happens a lot when going at a steep incline.
The car hesitates when you push the gas at around 20 to 25 MPH.
Hesitation or shudder at 25-40mph (transmission)
Car seems to have slight fuel feed problem - you can feel the car slightly hesitating sometimes when just driving down the road. Every once in a while, when pulling out onto busy boulevard, after you have pulled half way out in the road, the car will not go, even tho you are stepping on the gas. This is very scary, because the other cars are coming at you, and they are expecting you to move on out of the way. The problem is intermittent: it seems to happen mostly after the car has been driven a little bit, like going to the store, then car sits for awhile, then you get back in and drive, and that is when it happens.
Car hesitate bout 1 second and release at about 20 MPH before the passing gear shifts in , never use to do that , started doing this around 5/1/2017 , car has bout 80,000 miles current.
Acceleration hesitation at slow speeds, especially while turning.
