SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH IT MISSING, OR MISS FIRING WHILE DRIVING. IVE ALWAYS HEARD THERE WERE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE, BUT HAVE NOT HAD SUCCESS IN GETTING IT FIXED UNLESS I FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT, AND IT'S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. TO BE SPECIFIC, WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE GAS LIGHTLY IT JUMPS, SOMETIMES PRETTY HARD, IT FEELS LIKE THE GAS ISN'T FIRING WHEN I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, IF I PRESS HARDER IT WORKS BETTER THOUGH. IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS OR CITY STREETS, MOSTLY UNDER 60 MPH, BUT ALWAYS IN MOTION, BUT IT CAN SHAKE EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT MISSES AND IT WORRIES ME THAT IT CAN BE AFFECTING THE ENGINE IN THE LONG RUN. BUT I NOTICED IT AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM CARITE VERY SOON AFTER I BOUGHT IT.
