When driving vehicle would hesitate. Water temperature gauage would fluctuate. Took vehicle to dealership. Informed by mechanic a tsb was sent by manufacturer on cause of problem. Seemed that computer chip caused vehicle to hesitate. Mechanic removed battery cable & let vehicle sit for awhile before rehooking cables. This caused computer chip to reset itself.
