    When the throttle pedal is pressed the engine does not react immediately. Very difficult to pull out into traffic. Very dangerous pulling out into traffic. You never know how long it is going to take for the engine to respond to the throttle position sensor (tps) and accelerate. I have been to the selling dealer 2 times for this, they cannot "duplicate" the issue.
