Loss of power

When accelerating from a stop, there is a lack of power and when I let off it wants to die sometimes. No mil's or other warning lights. It does this in auto and manual mode. Very unsafe when merging. Anyone experienced this?btw this tranny has only 8000 men's on it.

Sounds like a trip to the service dealer is in store.

So it turns out it was the vapor canister and a sensor. Naturally it's the one thing that the extended warranty doesn't cover. 830.00 to fix and 520.00 of it os just the part. I think it's time to give up the Kizzy. To many issues and it's too bad because I like the car.

What's the mileage? How is this not covered by warranty?

Did you see if this could have been possibly caused by the spider issue?
To quote wiki on the Kizashi's recall for this issue:
"On July 30, 2014, Suzuki recalled an undisclosed number of select model year 2010-2013 Kizashi vehicles manufactured October 2009 through July 2012 due to spiders that may weave a web into the evaporative canister causing it to become blocked and creating excessive negative pressure within the fuel tank. Negative pressure could cause the fuel tank to crack, resulting in a higher risk of fire."

I second KuroNekko's assessment that it could be the spider TSB.
