Hesitation after turning and trying to "punch" it??

I've noticed this a couple of times since getting my AWD TL in late Feb'09... after rounding a corner where I've let off the gas a bit, the engine didn't pick up strongly, but hesitated for 1/2 - 1 second before starting to pull/accelerate again. Like it wasn't getting enough gas or something??

It's happened 2-3 times so far... I'm going to try to see if it happens again if my fuel level is low in general.

Anyone else seen this? Any ideas? I'll definitely mention it during 1st oil change later.

This might very well be due to the VSA (vehicle stability assist) that is turn on. The ECU may sense some tire slip going around the corner and correct. Just my $0.02.
