Both cars were quirky as far as acceleration was concerned. It is absolutely terrible that nothing can be done to take this problem from you. That is a fine choice of make and model car and I would be on fire if they couldn't solve this without jumping a switch or pushing a button, B.S to that. Please let us know which way this repair goes for you. Good Luck.
Thanks for your efforts. I think I will survive by learning to push the button when I start the car. I have another year until the warranty runs out, and then I will be shopping for a new car. But, if possible, it will not have the auto engine shut off feature.
