So this is strange, I have a 2006 GT with a manual 5-speed.
I totally baby this car, and I can't understand this wierd issue.
If I drive on the interstate for at least 30 minutes, then come a stop, and take off again, as soon as I take off in 1st gear my car will buck and practically stops me completely. Then as if the gears get aligned or something it continues on fine again, and drives/shifts like normal.
I hate to take this car into a dealer to have other people work on my car, but I may have no choice.

Any ideas?

 

This sounds like the fuel pump problem that others have encountered after a long cruise. It seems that after and extended period of driving, air bubbles can gather around the fuel pump that is located inside the tank. When you stop and take off again, the air bubbles are taken in by the fuel pump and your engine is temporarily starved for fuel. Go back a page or 2 here in the warranty section and look for a post called " Getting the hesitation after long cruise TSB fixed".....there is technical service bulletin out on this very problem, which I think includes changing out the fuel pump for a new one.

 

This TSB will fix you right up. mitch

 

It is TSB 06-9-9. Find it, print it out, and take it to the dealer with you. Show them the TSB and tell them that your car is doing EXACTLY what the TSB describes. If they try and tell you they have to replicate the problem, that is BS, and don't let them try and put 30 miles on the car to *maybe* have the car do just like you said.

 

Yep - it's the TSB. Got mine fixed, no more problems.

 

TSB 06-9-9

I had mine fixed recently too. No problems since.

 

Same here.

 

...and here...

 

 

There is a gas pedal next to the brake pedal, push it when you let out the clutch

 

Good luck getting that TSB done. They will likely want to drive it and not even notice the problem. If they take your word you are lucky. Post your results.
