About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
When you try to accelerate, the truck does not respond. The truck acceleration feels like their is a flat spot in the acceleration. This is very dangerous. Several of my family members have almost gotten in terrible T-bone accidents due to this malfunction. Brought the truck to the local dealership & the said they replaced the throttle position sensor & it is worse now.
