When accelerating from 0 mph to 45 mpa the car shudders. During a couple of these events the shuddering was violent, and when I slowed to investigate I could hear squeaking coming from the engine compartment. When I parked the vehicle there was faint smoke coming from the engine compartment and a burning smell like a burnt clutch. After the vehicle sits for a few hours the problem resolves and doesn't duplicate for that particular occurrence. Took vehicle to dealer one time and they were unable to find root case or duplicate problem. Also when driving constant speed in the range of 10 mph to 45 mph the vehicle also shudders, and seems to change gears so excessively that the car decelerates and accelerates +/- 5 mph uncontrollably. The car had 43K miles on it when this started. It currently has 49K miles.

This has been going on since I bought the car in October 2013 and continues to date. When stopped at intersection and moderately accelerate, the car doesn't move. It cause you to panic and accelerate harder and then the car jerks and takes off too fast. It's almost like when you take the foot off the brake and accelerate the gears slip and when it grabs it jerks and accelerates abruptly. This is nerve racking when trying to time cross traffic to cross intersection or merging into traffic. Not a very secure feeling.

Hesitation: When trying to accelerate, after stopping, in many instances there is a very pronounced hesitation before the car starts forward. This is a real problem when attempting to merge into traffic or accelerate from a stop sign or traffic light. There is a safety problem when pressing on the accelerator and it takes several seconds for the car to start moving.
