When I pulled out from a stop into the intersection I realized the cars were closer that I first thought, and when I instinctively pushed the accelerator to the floor to get out of the way, nothing happened for what seems like eternity but maybe just a portion of a second before the engine responds. This delay could be a life threatening situation, since the vehicle does not respond as you would expect it to, and could therefore allow you to be in the path of oncoming traffic without the ability to get the vehicle to move as you would expect it to. This "dead pedal" syndrome has happened on numerous occasions since I have had the truck on the road in the last year.
