NOTICE HESITATION WITH VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING BOTH ON HIGHWAYS OR FROM LOWER SPEEDS ON ANY ROADS. ASSUMED THIS MIGHT BE NORMAL FOR A 4 CYLINDER ENGINE, HOWEVER, I AM NOW CONCERNED IT IS RELATED TO RECENT RECALL OF THE MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF MY VEHCLE FOR ENGINE MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS RELATED TO STALLS AND INCREASED RISK OF CRASHES.
