Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I agree with another poster about an issue. We experience this too with our 15' Range Rover Sport supercharged V8 5.0L Dynamic vehicle. There is a dangerous lag in the accelerator when starting from a stop, or a low speed turn. It happens every time I stop or when turning a corner. It is most dangerous when pulling out of a parking lot or cross street when oncoming traffic is coming and you need the car to respond accurately to your gas pedal input. Instead, the vehicle does nothing for 1-1. 5 seconds, then lurches forward. With a V8 510 HP engine thats quite a huge difference in jolt. It makes it extremely hard to gage appropriate pedal pressure. This creates a very dangerous situation when you commit to pull into traffic, hit the gas pedal, and the vehicle doesn't actually move until the delay. I'm sure it looks to on coming traffic as if I stalled in front of them. It's only noticeable at low speed or rolling stops.

IT IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT OR CROSS STREET WHEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS COMING AND YOU NEED THE CAR TO RESPOND ACCURATELY TO YOUR GAS PEDAL INPUT. INSTEAD, THE VEHICLE DOES NOTHING FOR 1-1.5 SECONDS, THEN LURCHES FORWARD. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOU COMMIT TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC, HIT THE GAS PEDAL, AND THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACTUALLY MOVE UNTIL THE DELAY. I'M SURE IT SEEMS TO APPROACHING TRAFFIC AS IF I STALLED IN FRONT OF THEM. IT IS REALLY ONLY NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEED OR ROLLING STARTS.
