| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Upon pressing the accerator pedal the vehicle jumps forward (or backward, if in reverse). when pressing the accelerator pedal linkage it feels like it is taking up, delaying, then the vehicle does a small fast jump or acceleration. it is very dangerous manuvering in close places like parking lots. i brought the vehicle in to the dealer. they agreed the system was "touchy" but said it was normal for this model! my wife and i both feel this is not correct. this should be fixed on all vehicles of this model before someone is hurt! |
