Description of the problem | Went to make a left turn across traffic at an intersection, started to go then let off the accelerator when i saw another car come from behind a vehicle and speed around it. But then i realized i was in the way of the on coming traffic so i pushed the accelerator down hard complete my left turn and get out of the way of on coming traffic. When i did this the truck didn't go anywhere for a couple seconds, then it went. It seemed to have a delayed lag to the acceleration. I made my turn without having an accident, but the car traveling the other direction did have to slow way down and honk their horn. I have read that this is a common problem with these trucks and now i know first hand how bad it is. I do feel like this could be an issue with safety if a vehicle can not get out of the way of on coming traffic if the accelerator goes "dead" for a few seconds. |
