Consumer Description

THE TRUCK HAS WHAT I DESCRIBE AS A "DEAD PEDAL". I WAS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND LET OFF THE THROTTLE IN AN EVASIVE MANEUVER, BUT REALIZED I NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO AVOID BEING HIT. I PUSHED TO ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR, AND THERE WAS A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE ENGINE BEGAN ACCELERATING. I AVOIDED BEING HIT ONLY DUE TO EVASIVE STEERING. THIS SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE VERIFIED THIS CONDITION IN A CONTROLLED SITUATION, AND CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM EACH AND EVERY TIME. *TR
