Just curious if this is an isolated problem with my vehicle or are others also seeing this.


Thanks,
Hi Tracy,

I feel it too...under the exact situation...gentle acceleration...but I think it's a reaction to the torque dip and then a sudden recovery.... I find it very annoying as I don't "floor" all my accelerations.

Nice seeing you Sunday at the Meet & Greet

Cheers

Bob
