HESITATES DURING ACCELERATION. I HAVE REVIEWED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE ENGINE HESITATES AROUND 2000 RPM. IT HESITATES TO A POINT WHERE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE RECEIVED BEFORE NHSTA ACTS? IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER - INITIALLY THEY SAID THERE WAS A COMPUTER PATCH. STILL HESITATING.

WHEN GOING JUST 5 MINUTES UP THE ROAD AND STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE STUTTERS, THEN SHUTS OFF. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IN JUST ONE WEEK, IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I HAVE REPORTED THE ENGINE STUTTERING BEFORE AND THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I DRIVE AN HOUR TO WORK EACH DAY AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I DRIVE THROUGH HEAVY TRAFFIC EACH DAY AND I AM AFRAID I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF THIS CONTINUES TO DO THIS. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ONLY 10 MONTHS. THIS IS VERY SAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE OIL OR "BAD GASOLINE".

Sluggish engine after slowing down and then trying to increase speed, engine jumps and hesitates for a few seconds then if you stomp on the gas pedal it downshifts and takes off after reving to about 5,000 rpms. This usually happens when slowing down to about 20-30 MPH then starting to increase speed. It is truly embarrassing owning this $37,0000 truck.
