Hi, i have a 07 XLS love the car. anywho just wondering if i have a problem or if its normal. I get a slight hesitation from the engine at around 10-20mph in slow but moving traffic. doesn't necessarily have to be in highway it could be in side streets also. when ever i let go of the gas and apply the break or just let go and apply gas again it would hesitate a little. but it goes away as speeds get higher. Is this normal for this car? do any of you outlander owners experience this? should i take it to the dealer? any input would be great.

 

I do feel that sometimes but not everyday. Around 1 out of 10 times.
Any input guys?

 

Does the engine just give you a bit of power, cut out, and continue or is there just a delay?
Delay is totally normal, and especially if the transmission is in a state where its about to shift (which it usually does when you add gas while moving at slower speeds).

 

Have a look at this TSB to see if it's doing the same thing.

its definitely a delay. and i tried an experiment too. and when using the paddle shifters and i am manually shifting the delay is almost gone, still there but i guess its normal. thanks for the help.
