| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | At low speeds, when normally pressing the gas pedal, the automobile hesitates for an extended period and then "jerks" forward after this delay. There appears to be a "dead spot" in the acceleration pedal position where the car acceleration hesitates. When pulling into a traffic lane, this unexpected hesitation leaves the car occupants in a dangerous situation of being hit by other automobiles. The condition is at its worst when the automobile engine has not fully warmed. I feel the unexpected hesitation at low speeds of my automobile is a significant safety concern and may result in serious injury or death of automobile occupants if not corrected. *ak |
