Description of the problem | I pressed the accelerator as i crossed through an intersection then i released, and i immediately went to press it again with no throttle response. The throttle response is so slow it almost caused me to have accident. This is not the first either but i thought it just may be a fluke until now. I have have owned my truck for about 4 months and the throttle lag has happened too many times to count. Crossing the hwy is very unsafe as you press the gas pedal, release, and press again there is a huge delay. This is definitely a safety issue which seems to be getting worse. Also i have seen many complaints online with the same issue. Please look into this further before it causes preventable deaths to occur. The throttle response delay needs to be addressed as soon as possible. |
