Consumer Description

"DEAD PEDAL" ON CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE. IF ACCELERATING THEN LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THEN PRESS IT AGAIN, THERE WILL BE A MOMENTARY "DEAD PEDAL" FOR SEVERAL SECONDS OR MORE WHERE NO ENGINE POWER IS APPLIED. THE HARDER YOU PRESS THE PEDAL THE SECOND TIME (I.E., THE MORE YOU NEED THE POWER), THE WORSE IT IS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS, AND OTHER TIMES WHERE I NEEDED THE ENGINE TO GIVE ME POWER RIGHT THEN, NOT SEVERAL SECONDS (OR MORE) LATER. THIS COULD VERY EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.
