WHILE ENTERING ONTO THE FREEWAY I EXPERIENCE STUMBLING AND/OR NO POWER WHILE TRYING TO BUILD UP SPEED TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC. THEREFORE, MOST TIMES, NEARLY GETTING HIT OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT FROM SOMEONE SWERVING INTO ANOTHER CAR TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. AFTER EXTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE LONG TERM TESTING, THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE BAD CAPACITORS IN MY ECU. WITHIN UNDER 2 YEARS OF HAVING IT FIXED I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT IT IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MAKE OF VEHICLE. *TR
