There is a dangerous throttle lag when accelerating from a rolling stop. Many users have nearly had accidents like me. You press throttle and it does nothing for like 2 seconds then suddenly engine picks up. . . Its a gasoline v6 engine so its not turbo lag. . . . And when you are actually stopped and accelerate its just fine. Its just when slowly rolling its extremely dangerous!!!.
Laggy acceleration at "rolling stop" speeds of 2-10 mph. 2-4 second delay merging into traffic or turning into traffic. No amount of accelerator will alleviate the lag. Supercharged v6 gas engine.
Accelerator has a significant "lag" when going from a moving "stop". As if when your turning and want to accelerate. This is a known problem with lr and they have been working on a software fix for months. It is dangerous!!.
