Description of the problem | The acceleration response is decoupled from the throttle. I had come to a complete stop at a stop sign. I tried to move ahead with a slight acceleration to get a view of cross traffic, unfortunately the vehicle accelerated too high and t boned into another car that was going across. The other vehicle was damaged. The problem is more evident while accelerating from slower speeds or from a stop. |
