Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While accelerating away from a stop, at low engine rpm and low throttle opening, the car hesitates. if you give it more throttle, it gives a sudden but unpredictable burst of acceleration. it is very difficult to get out of the way if someone happens to be headed toward you. it is also impossible to know when the car will start to accerlerate normally. it is a jerky type of action that does not coincide with the smooth application of the accelerator pedal.
