At different times while driving there is a hesitation when I press on the gas. This is scary when trying to take off in traffic or when turning a corner. I have to press hard on he gas peddle a couple times to get the car to go. I've mentioned this to the dealer every time I take the car in for service but they can't find what is wrong. This happens with and without the eco engaged.. this happens when I'm driving on the road mostly but has happened a couple times on the expressway. It has happened since I purchased to vehicle in 2012 until now (12/08/17).

Whenever I stop at a stop sign or light, upon re-starting (only if there is an incline in the street) the motor almost stops. I must pump the gas peddle, it seems, to cause fuel to enter. Then the car takes off too fast in the traffic. The mechanics at the dealer where I purchased the car cannot find (or experience) the problem. But there is definitely a malfunction--dangerous as well.
