Description of the problem | While waiting to turn left at an intersection for a break in oncoming traffic, the car will sometimes pause for 2-3 seconds when the accelerator is pressed, as if it were in neutral. This leaves me vulnerable to an accident when it finally kicks in and starts moving. When having to judge and make crucial decisions while driving is complicated by a car that doesn't move when it's supposed to i truly feel it's literally 'an accident waiting to happen.' i also don't know when it will happen because it's not every time, so i have no way to incorporate that into my decision making while driving. Neither i want to be in an accident, nor do i want to put someone else at risk. |
