| Vehicle Speed Control problems |
The electronically controlled throttle pedal has a severe delay when having to suddenly let off at speed then the need to re-apply throttle in an emergency situation. There is a delay in upwards of 1 to 2 seconds before the truck responds to throttle input. This happens on a regular basis and can be very dangerous when pulling into traffic or merging onto a freeway. I've been close to accidents on multiple occasions due to the lack of throttle response caused by this.
