Description of the problem | Throttle response or acceleration lag after letting off the gas to change lanes or slowing for corners etc. Has happened at end of exit off the interstate after stopping at stop sign, then proceeding to make a right turn into the lane. Upon pressing gas truck seems to "coast" or wait a few seconds before realizing it's getting gas then will suddenly accelerate. You have to wait and not give it gas for a few seconds for it to catch up. This causes a problem when changing lanes in town in traffic. Appears to happen mainly at slower speeds. Such lag could cause you to get rear ended a lot can happen in 3 to 5 seconds. Have had vehicle to shop, inspected and no signs of anything wrong upon testing. Has happened again, will take to shop again. This has happened 5 or 6 times now in less than 30 days of ownership. Truck now has 1078 miles on it. |
