When accelerating, there appears to be a 1-1.5 second delay from complete stop position to start when depressing the accelerator. This delayed acceleration is problematic only from complete stopping position. Example, at perpendicular intersection waiting to turn left (pulling out of a gas station or merging into traffic, the vehicle requires a rolling or moving start before the vehicle will actually accelerate or at a safe enough speed to pull out into traffic. When i am at a complete stop and try to accelerate by pressing the accelerator firmly from any complete stop position in a safe enough speed to cross traffic when turning, there is always a delayed reaction from the time i depress the pedal and the time the vehicle takes off. This does not to appear as a problem that happens only once in a while, but appears all the time and to be a manufacturer issues with the electronic transmission and gear control. I contacted the dealer and was told that i should activate the sport button and de-activate the dcs control which controls the "spin-out" action on the countryman. I have tried those recommendations and the problem still exist. This is not only the problem. There is also an issue when i am simply in the driveway. When starting the car and putting the vehicle in reverse, there is also that "delayed" reaction after the car is already in gear, almost like the vehicle has to think about moving before it actually does. This occurs each and every time while in the vehicle. My vehicle is an automatic.i have experience with both automatic and manual transmissions and have over 25 years of experience and have purchased over 15 cars in my driving career and this is the first time that i have every experienced this type driving experience with an automatic.
