I HAVE NOTICED SIGNIFICANT HESITATION WHEN I LAUNCH THE CAR FROM A STOP. WHEN THE CAR IS COMPLETELY STOPPED, AND I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL, A LAG OF 1-3 SECONDS IS OBSERVED. WITHIN THIS TIME RANGE, THE CAR JUST IDLES AS-IS WITHOUT MOVING FORWARD. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE FROM 10-30. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.*AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
