Not a consistent problem, but when it happens it can be dangerous. All of a sudden, when I need the car to accelerate, it hesitates. Very dangerous when trying to merge into traffic or change lanes. Dealership told me that was just the way this car is.

This is my wife's vehicle. It's now 4 years old with 12,000 miles on it. She took it in to Dealer twice & got glad-handed. So since she just putts-putts around town with it she just deals with the hesitation at start-up. I drove it 20 miles on the Interstate & found it downright dangerous. It actually stalled when trying to make a lane change. So I took it to the Dealer & I got greased... "Tech test drove & failed to duplicate... yadda".
"You ARE aware that this is a Continuously Variable Transmission are you not? It just takes some getting used to..."
Solution: When I now have Interstate driving to do, I just drive my '96 Cherokee with 182,000 miles on it. It's the SUV that Honda tried to copy with the CRV, but failed miserably.
