NHTSA Complaint #10586890 — 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO

WAS IN A TURN LANE FOLLOWING A VEHICLE GOING SLIGHTLY UPHILL ROLLING UP TO AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MADE THEIR TURN AND WHILE I WAS STILL ROLLING I CHECKED ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THERE WAS A VEHICLE COMING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION, BUT I TOO HAD TIME TO MAKE THE TURN IN FRONT OF THE ONCOMING VEHICLE. I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND IT DID NOTHING FOR WHAT SEEMED LIKE A HALF OF A SECOND BEFORE FINALLY ACCELERATING. IT WAS AS IF IT WAS THE OLD DAYS WHEN WE HAD A BADLY TUNED CARBURETOR AND THE ENGINE BOGGED BEFORE FINALLY TAKING OFF. ONLY, THE TRUCK DOESN'T BOG, IT JUST DOESN'T RESPOND AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD ALL THE TIME. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN "DRIVE" SO PERHAPS IT WAS RUNNING IN V4 AND/OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRANSMISSION SHIFT OR DOWNSHIFT. REGARDLESS, AN ACCELERATOR THAT DOES NOT RESPOND THE SAME WAY EVERY TIME BUT VARIES DEPENDING ON DRIVING CONDITIONS IS IN MY OPINION DANGEROUS. *TR
