When merging onto a highway you have to press the gas pedal.
This one annoys me soo much. I drive a slow vehicle. Probably 20 seconds 0-60. I can get it up to highway merging speed by the end of the on ramp 100% of the time. Why the fuck can't Mr. Twin Turbo Ecoboost manage that?
I have no idea. Maybe acceleration offends their delicate sensibilities? Maybe they like to disrupt the flow of vehicles?
Mine's quite a bit worse, when it's cold it takes me about a minute to get up to speed (won't shift into 4th cause of a sticky solenoid), but unfortunately the turn onto our highway is just a stop sign and not a ramp. So i have to wait for a big opening to go onto it safely
