Default do you have this sudden stop then no power to go situation?

this has already been to the dealer per my other thread but this just happened again so i was wondering if you have it too.

i was at a very long light and distracted so missed that it turned green. saw the car in front ahead of me so mashed it to catch up. then he stopped. so i did a hard stop. but by the time i got to him he already was accelerating away so i went to step on it again and NOTHING! zero. it was like THREE seconds or even more. I was panicked about the people behind me though they were stopped so i guess no danger but still...

I thougth it stalled, i reached to put it in P to restart it then somehow it kicked in or i felt it or something. i dont even remember. then i was on my merry way.

i should just take it to a lot and test this out but they said it's torque management and i hate it! when you floor it, you shouldnt have to wait many seconds for this to kick in. its unexcusable. thankfully its rare to actually need the full power in a situation like this after sudden stop but 1st time it happened it scared me.

You need an in the car cam filming.

I recommend attaching a mobius cam next to the passenger headrest to film the inside of your car also.

I was swapping lanes and stepped on it a little bit but not full throttle or anything. definitely did feel like a lag in kicking in.. under a second maybe. definitely not like by wire.
