I have a problem with my car. When the car is running at low speed (25 to 40 mph) and when I push the accelerator pedal a little, the car hesitates and produces lot of vibrations. Another thing is I have SRS light on all the time. I do not have any idea about these things. Please let me know about what the problem could be. Your help is highly appreciated. I do not want to get into big trouble and spend lot of time and money. I want to resolve it as soon as possible before it aggravates.

Hi kmandarm,

The hesitation could be due to spark plugs or ignition system. Your description of the symptom is not very clear of where the problem is coming from so I wuold suggest starting with the spark plug first.

The SRS has a component malfunctioning and you need to get it scanned for error codes to determine the cause.
