Hesitating and lurches when accelerate

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your tC. It sounds like your tC might be experiencing a misfire or a transmission issue. You might want to inspect the spark plugs, ignition coils, and wiring, as any problems here could cause the engine to lurch under load when accelerating. Running a diagnostic scan to check for codes can help narrow down the problem further. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
