What owners wrote
This vehicle has the worst acceleration and take off I have ever noticed. If I had to get out of the way of something, I would not be able too. If not fixed this will defiantly cause an accident. I can't even pull out onto the highway and get up to the same speed as other traffic. When I got in my wreck in june I was trying to pass someone who was driving slow and I could not get around them quick enough and they cut me off causing our vehicle to collide.
A dead throttle pedal occurs at two different instances. One, when from a dead stop pulling out into traffic. The accelerator pedal will press but the vehicle will not go or change RPM for a second, then the vehicle will move. Two, when trying to pass someone, occasionally the vehicle will exhibit the same dead pedal response for a moment then accelerate. This is most definitely unsafe for my family.
