| Description of the problem | Vehicle hesitates/fails to move forward in the following mode: after braking, when the vehicle is still moving between 5 to 15 mph, the van does not respond to accelerator pedal input; vehicle hesitates with no movement forward, then shifts hard into first gear and lurches forward. We have had 2 close calls, waiting for the vehicle to respond to accelerator pedal input. Also, accelerator pedal has a dead spot. The first half inch of pedal causes no response from vehicle). This "dead spot" along with the hesitation noted above can result in a 2 second response failure from the vehicle. This situation has put my family in harms way on numerous occasions.*ak |
