I've noticed on my 2014 v6 auto (performance pack) that when I step on it even if its not all the way, I get solid acceleration through first gear and then its either in second or third around 2.5-3k RPMs, the RPMS dip ever so slightly before beginning to increase. If I'm not accelerating hard at all, I don't seem to get this problem, perhaps because I'm not reaching that range very often. Is there a problem with the car or has anyone else noticed this? I'm wondering if it has to do with the programming of the car. It's done it ever since I've owned it (almost two years now). If I think of it, I'll post a video of what I'm talking about but until then, any ideas? Someone suggested a torque converter thing and said that would be normal but I'm checking to see if anyone else has ideas.

 

Think it has to do with the variable valve system...when I had a v6 it did that as well....almost like a pause and then took off again......

 

Yea that's kind of how it is. Will a tune change that up? Or will that always be there?

 

Not sure, I never had a tune...but I would assume it would always be like that.....there are some other threads on this as well....
