| I have 2 problems with acceleration. one is from a stop. the car doesn't accelerate for a second or two when stepping on gas. this has happened a couple times. second problem happened at highway speed. this problem has happened only once so far. was merging on to highway so i accelerated, then let quickly let off the gas to check traffic in another lane to pass a car, then accelerated again to pass car. due to the amount of traffic merging in and out, it happened very quickly. once out in the passing lane in rush hour traffic on this busy interstate highway, car would not accelerate for a couple seconds. tried pushing on the gas pedal a couple times with no response. car eventually accelerated. felt like transmission failure. i feel both incidents are a safety concern. when the car doesn't accelerate when you expect it to, you are at risk if traffic around you can't stop in time. took car to dealer but was told no problem was found and the lag felt from computer delay is normal. | |||

| I was driving on the n.j. tpke. at highway speed. i accidentally hit the push button start button. the engine shut off and the dash said shift into park. i could not restart the car until i came to a stop, shifted into park, but my foot on the brake and pushed the button. you can't open the trunk without the transmission being in park, yet you can shut everything down just by accidentally touching this button. not safe | |||
