Since new, i have documented at least 20 occurrences of lack of acceleration, several times almost resulting in an accident. All occurrences happen from a stopped position, then applying at least half accelerator pedal, the truck will initially accelerate, then pause for several seconds, very scary when crossing traffic or going through an intersection. Happens on turns and when going straight.

By this i mean no increase in engine rpm's proportional to throttle position. I have shrugged it off as my imagination.
