4 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 05/19/2016

Acceleration delay with my recently purchased 2016 Nissan Versa note. Particularly dangerous when making a left turn in front of oncoming traffic as the initial pressing of the accelerator pedal has a delayed response, sometimes for 3 seconds or more. To compensate for the delay I press heavy on the pedal resulting in a sudden surge when it finally kicks in. I took it in for repair and was told by the Nissan dealership there was nothing wrong. The problem continues to present a danger when driving.
