Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The car hesitates when pressure is applied to the gas pedal, and in order to speed up the pedal has to be pushed again. i have complained to the service department several times. the second time i complained the service manager drove the car and said it the way the car was suppose to be, the computer system worked that way. i brought it back in with the same complaint and they said other cars had similar difficulties, and they replaced a computer chip. the pick-up was a little better but still not like other cars. the latest failure occurred as i was taking a left out of a driveway. i put my foot on the gas, nothing happened and i put my foot on the gas again, at which time the car sped across the road and hit a telephone pole. *tr
