Description of the problem | I was attempting to pass a slow moving vehicle. I was traveling around 35mph at the time. Right before i went to overtake the vehicle i had to let off the accelerator. When the passing lane was clear i gave the truck the throttle needed to pass the slow car, but it was a good 3-4 seconds after pushing the accelerator before the truck responded at all. This was not turbo lag, it was simply the truck did not respond to my input when needed. I have had this happen also when trying to merge into traffic or pull out onto a busy street. It is dangerous. |
