I barely missed getting rear-ended by another vehicle…

I proceeded to apply both my feet to the…

While changing lanes, there was a sudden lack of response while i was pressing on the accelerator. This only lasted a millisecond but was enough that i started to press down to complete the change when throttle response returned. I have had this happen about a dozen times in the 3 months since purchasing this auto. *js
