Description of the problem | My truck is unpredictable. Sometimes there is a big delay when you press on the gas. Also, it excellerates when you least expect it for instance, turning into a parking space, all of a sudden it learches forward fast. It is extremely dangerous on the highway when cars are stopped behind you at a light. You never know when it does it. Sometimes on a cold start, sometimes not. I took it to the dealer and i was told it's because it has a double clutch. If that's the reason, why didn't it do it when i first got it. It started around 1900 miles. At first, i thought it was because of snow and slippery roads, not so. It's scary but what's even scarier, i will be paying for it for the next 5 years so i can't get rid of it unless i get killed in it. It only has 2400 miles on it. Truck was always in motion, sometimes even backing up in the morning it's in slow motion with a big hesitation. |
