WHEN PRESSING THE THROTTLE DURING LOW SPEEDS, THE CAR HESITATES WITH NO CHANGE TO RPM AND NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE TO PRODUCE POWER TO INCREASE VEHICLE SPEED. IN ORDER TO OVERCOME THE HESITATION, I HAVE TO FULLY DISENGAGE MY RIGHT FOOT FROM THE THROTTLE AND PRESS THE THROTTLE AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THE ENGINE TO RESPOND TO MY COMMAND AND PROVIDE POWER. THIS SOLUTION DOES NOT ALWAYS RECTIFY THE PROBLEM TO WHERE SOMETIMES I JUST WAIT FOR THE CAR TO PICK UP ON MY COMMAND TO INCREASE SPEED. THIS OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN NOVEMBER OF 2015. THIS FAULT INTRODUCE A SAFETY CONDITION WHILE DRIVING. ONE EXAMPLE: 1) AT STOP LIGHTS WHEN GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT, THE CAR RESPONDS NORMAL AND PRODUCES POWER, BUT SECONDS LATER THE VEHICLE POWER IS NON-EXIST (AS DESCRIBED ABOVE) AND THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE SINCE THEY WOULD NOT EXPECT MY VEHICLE TO HAVE SUCH ABRUPT LOSS IN SPEED. ALSO, KEEP IN MIND THAT I HAVE NO INTENTION OF USING MY BRAKES SINCE THERE IS NO NEED FOR ME TO APPLY MY BRAKES SO THE TAILING DRIVERS WOULD NOT GET THE IDEA TO SLOW DOWN AS THEY DO NOT SEE MY BRAKE LIGHTS
