I took it from the rental car center to terminal C yesterday and not only did we get stuck between stations for about five minutes, the train waited at every station with the doors open for about five minutes. It took forever to get to terminal C.

Also, last week I tried to take it from C to the EWR train station and, after getting stuck between C and P4, the whole system shut down and we had to go from P4 to the train station via bus. This joke of a public transit system combined with the long taxi times into Manhattan during rush periods has me seriously reconsidering EWR as a viable option for travel to NYC.
