Fails to get up to speed from stop or slow speed to get across traffic or merge literally jerks forward after a delay when using acceleration from a stop or slower speeds in situations where you need to get up to speed quickly
Going south on FL-16, I slowed down from 55 MPH down to 5 mph to make a left turn across the divided highway. The cars going North were far enough away so I decided to cross before they came close. I pressed gas pedal, but instead of accelerating, the car just refused to accelerate. Now I am in the middle of the 2 lane traffic going north, and the cars are coming at me at 55+ mph. I was in total panic. I floored the gas pedal in desperation. Luckily my Spark began moving slowly forward, barely missing the oncoming cars. I am guessing the CVT got confused.
