| Description of the problem | When attempting to accelerate quickly while stationary or in motion, there is a delay between hitting the accelerator and the vehicle responding. Upon vehicular response the engine will rev extreemly high, then resume regular operation. This has occured on every road in every condition. The aformentioned problem has put my vehicle at high risk of collision on 3 different occasions. An example of this includes pulling out of a parkinglot onto a busy highway. When there is enough space to pull out and accelerate quickly, the vehicle crawls out of the lot, a second goes by,then the vehicle revs up into the 5500-6000rpm. Passing a vehicle on a one lane highway also presents problems. Pulling out into the oncoming lane, depressing the pedal, and not accelerating right away puts the operator at risk for a head on collision. Dealerships have told me there is no fault and it operates normally when running the computer diagnostics. There is a legitimate problem, and i hope it can be rectified in the near future. The date entered in the "when did this happen" section is the rough date this started happening in my vehicle. |
