Description of the problem | Durring normal driving conditions the vehicle has significant lag in throttle respose, as noted in forums as a "dead throttle". The delay can be as significant as a couple of seconds before the vehicle responds. I am afraid that it could occur in situation when accident avoidance is nessecary and the the vehicle will not respond causing an accident. The delay happens often, and has been doing it over the span of several months. |
