Acceleration Question

At times the acceleration at a dead stop hesitates. Took it in to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong (even asked about the injectors). Was given a 07 loaner and accelaration was much agile although only had 1500 miles on it. Mine only has 4500 miles on it but almost 1.5 years on it. Only use Premium. Any thoughts?

I still have my acceleration issue. I'm going to a different dealer to see if they can figure it out. If you find out what's going in, please post.

I find stepping on the accelerator steadily and smoothly rather than just stomping on it provides a more responsive acceleration. Once the RDX has revs with the turbo in boost it becomes an animal!

It's not a matter of stepping on the accelerator smoothly or not. There is something mechanically/electronically wrong with the vehicle. You wouldn't understand unless it has happened to your car. Read my post on the bottom of the thread I posted.

Interesting...do you have the same "backfire" type of thing that was mentioned in the other post?
