On Oct. 7,2001 ( four days after taking delivery), I was slowly merging into traffic. When I put my foot on the gas pedal, there was no accerlation for a few seconds (car just idled) and then suddenly, the car lurched forward into traffic at a high speed with the tires screeching. The same thing happened twice more on October 17, 2001 when turning left at intersections; then about 10 times on October 17 while either making turns or driving in heavy traffic; twice on Nov.7; and, twice more on Nov. 13. we were afraid to drive car on Oct. 25 and had towed to closest dealer. Car has been to service dept. Twice, on 10/22 and 10/25. Defect not found or repaired. We are too afraid to drive this car as we were almost in 5 accidents.
