when driving off a stop light or stop sign the car wont accelerate until i press the accelerator two or three times than it takes off fast that could cause an accident by hitting the car in the front. by this the car is unsafe to handle. my life is in danger by driving this car. this is the second car that has done it with the car built by the Koreans.

Well, it has happened twice so far, but not recently. As my wife drives the car mostly and she probably wouldn't think twice to tell me if this has happened. But i threw the car into reverse and when i pressed onto the accelerator, it hesitated, then died. Lost all power, even the interior lighting/dash flickered. It happened during the hot summer we purchased the car, and once since then. Not sure, but worth mentioning, i suppose.
