Have a delay when accelerating on my 2026 Equinox RS AWD — are you guys seeing the same issue, or is it just mine?

How many miles on it? Has it done this since the day you drove it off the lot?

Transmission shift logic and throttle position logic can be a bit laggy until the vehicle has been through a bunch of drive cycles.

It has about 70 km on it. I actually noticed the same thing when I drove the demo at the dealership. I asked them about it, and they said it's normal — something about the turbo needing 3–4 seconds to come back into service, but I'm not sure.

Yes! I thought it was me but when I am entering the acceleration lane, it chugs!!! Also, the front end shimmy. What did I get myself into???
