| Description of the problem | Erratic acceleration which creates hazardous situations. Sometimes vehicle continues to accelerate when accelerator pedal is depressed, causing unpredictable behavior which leads to dangerous situations. Sometimes vehicle accelerates very rapidly with very little pressure on accelerator pedal, which is hard to control in a stop and go traffic, i almost hit a car in front of me several times. Sometimes pressing accelerator pedal has no reaction for 1 to 3 seconds, which makes it difficult to predict vehicle behavior when merging to faster traffic. *jb |
