Car hesitated badly on acceleration. At first the dealer said it was because of the way the accelerator was connected through a wire to the computer, but was a safety issue, and needed to be investigated by the federal government if necessary. I will state my dealer was now trying to rectify the issue because it has also effected the gas mileage, and a see it as a safety hazard. If necessary I will contact the attorney general of my home state because I see this as a non perfected piece of equipment put upon the public.
