| While driving on the highway, we switched lanes and pressed the accelerator to the floor while attempting to pass another vehicle. there was no response from the throttle. after 15 seconds or more the car finally responded. upon reaching our destination, the transmission was put into park, whereupon the engine rpm's began to climb past 4000. the accelerator was not pushed down. the concern is that the electronic throttle is not responding to the driver's input and could lead to an unintended acceleration. the incident has been reported to the dealer and we are awaiting a response. | |||
