Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Vehicle consistently has no throttle response for a second or two when going from stationary to full throttle. Primarily when making a quick decision to pull out at an intersection or merge into traffic. If the accelerator is pushed then released and pushed again there is an extremely lag. This is especially dangerous due to the fact that if you are needing full throttle acceleration all of my situations have required needing it fast. The acceleration being delayed has resulted in near misses when entering an intersection as seconds of delay in response causes approaching vehicles to get closer than they ever should. |
