2008 DODGE SPRINTER W/DIESEL ENGINE HAS HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. PROBLEM BEGAN AFTER ABOUT 10000 MILES OF DRIVING. BECAUSE OF THE STALLING WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS I'VE HAD SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS. ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT I'VE ALMOST HAD PEOPLE REAR END ME. THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED WHEN THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED DUE TO SOOT BUILD UP. REPAIRS WERE DONE UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE PROBLEM IS STARTING AGAIN AND THE EGR VALVE IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PATTERN AS TO WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. PROBLEM ALWAYS OCCURS AT PARTIAL THROTTLE, NEVER FULL THROTTLE. *TR
