Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2016, 2018, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Owners in this group press the accelerator and the car doesn't answer, sometimes for a second or two, sometimes longer. Many describe it at the worst moment: pulling out into traffic, merging, or starting off from a stop sign.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the ECM or TCM reflash (10 reports).
Recalls and investigations
8 recalls on the engine cover the 2022 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
Debris from the manufacturing process may contaminate the engine and cause the main bearings to fail, which can result in an engine stall and loss of drive power.

Unexpected vehicle movement may occur when the vehicle is in neutral and the brakes are not applied.
The plastic fuel tube routed near metallic brake lines may chafe against the brake lines and become damaged, possibly resulting in a fuel leak.
A software error in the combination meter's electronic control unit (ECU) may cause the Instrument Panel LCD display to go blank.
Incorrect programming of the parking-assist electronic control unit (ECU) software, may cause the front camera image to appear on the multimedia display instead of the rear camera image when the shifter is placed into reverse.
The flange nuts on the axle shaft sub-assemblies can loosen over time and potentially cause one or both axle shaft sub-assemblies to separate from the axle housing.
The parking assist electronic control unit (ECU) software may prevent transmission of the rearview camera signal during cold weather, preventing the rearview image from displaying.

When it happens
Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
What owners wrote
“Have severe throttle lag and/or hesitation when giving gas from a stop. It causes a unsafe condition when you give it gas to go and it hesitates so bad I have almost gotten into accidents. This has been happening since new. Currently 30k miles on the truck.”

“The vehicle suffers extreme throttle lag. Pulling away from a stop sign, or turning into traffic the vehicle does not respond to gentle acceleration. After a few seconds the vehicle jumps forward almost as though it jumps into gear. This has left me sitting in intersections and has placed me in several dangerous situations. This is a safety hazard.”

“Throttle sticks. When pressing acceleration pedal down from a stop or from a change of reverse to drive, there is a 2 second lag. This issue can cause serious problems if youâre pulling out from a stop sign. A burst of acceleration then happens after the 2 second lag, causing cabin disturbance.”

“I am experiencing a lag in throttle response when going from a stop or slow roll. Trying to pull out into traffic and I push the accelerator and about 1-2 seconds I get nothing then truck lunges forward. Almost like it is going to die then catches itself. This has caused me on several occasions to nearly be hit.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 72 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
