Hey everyone. I have been recently having a problem with my car hesitating when turning. I'll make the turn and try to accelerate but the car will feel bogged down for a split second and then accelerate. It happens when the car is warm or cold. Also happens on both right and left turns. Anyone having a similar issue?

 

Forgot to add: Auto trans. This happens under normal conditions meaning I am not punching the gas. Can happen when pressing accelerator around corner and braking around corner...makes no difference.

 

i think thats just the normal acceleration delay everyone is feeling. does it happen when your driving straight?

 

No. This just started recently. I know the normal hesitation. This feels more like the car is deprived of gas and is about to die but then goes back to normal. I guess its hard to explain until you feel it. Thanks for the input.

 

how many miles on the car? ... when was the last time u changed ur diff fluid?

 

Most likely is an overactive traction control....you're in Illinois and there's still a good amount of sand and cinders on the road. When you turn, the inside and outside wheels turn at a different rate because they are tracing the radius of different circles, with the outsides spinning faster than the inside. But I digress. The car will bog and you should get a brief flash of the yellow warning light on the dash. Have you noticed this? Look for it and see if that is the culprit. I get this bog from a simple turn near my office. You can also shut off traction control and try problematic turns with and without TC turned on. Let us know how this plays out.
