Description of the problem	The vehicle exhibits an unexpected delay in acceleration from a stop. This delay seems to be unpredictable and not due to any particular pedal movement. At times, when moving from a stop at an intersection, after moving into a lane of traffic, the delay can suddenly happen, and can be as much as 3 to 4 seconds. At this point, the vehicle is "dead in the water" so to speak. The engine is at idle and will not accelerate, and the vehicle will not move. Hence, the vehicle cannot be moved out of the way of oncoming traffic until the delay period is over. Pressing the accelerator does no good in this period of time, and, if holding the accelerator partially pressed when the delay period is over, the vehicle suddenly lurches forward more quickly than the driver would normally wish. I am concerned that this delay and the ensuing "dead in the water" situation will eventually cause an accident. I have talked with a dealer service manager, and his answer was that it was due to the "drive by wire" system that controls the throttle, and there is nothing they can do. This incident form requires a date for when this happened. It happens frequently. I bought the truck in january 2020, and it has happened every time i drive it. I'll give a date for the record, but it is only one of many.
