Starting off from a stop or at low speeds the vehicle loses all power. Engine stumbles and does not respond, when it happens it almost feels like the engine may stall. Pressing the accelerator and the vehicle will not move, then suddenly will start to go seconds later. This has almost resulted in a crash since the vehicle loses all propulsion unexpectedly. No warning lights. Took to the dealer twice and everything is “normal” no codes stored.

The car stalls or fails to accelerate from a complete stop despite adequately stepping on the gas pedal. This has left me in dangerous situations with oncoming cars as my car fails to move as expected. This issue occurs sporadically.

Owner report 11603575 · 2024-07-20 (July 20, 2024)
After coming to a stop the vehicle will not accelerate as it should. A severe loss of power as it will only advance very slowly for 10 to 15 seconds. This is always in an intersection, so it is dangerous. Seems to happen mostlyin hot weather when the A/C is on.
