Hesitation: Help. . .
 

My Fiance just picked up and 06 H3 with 16,000 miles on it. I've noticed when i'm driving it that something's up. At around 50-60mph, just cruisin, motor is at around 1500, 2000 rpm's. that there's a feeling of hesitation. I dont know if its the motor or drivetrain but somethings up. especially when I start to hit a slight incline or a hill its almost a herky jerky feeling. Anybody else experience this? If i give it more gas and it downshifts the feeling goe's away. I'm going to be calling the dealer and taking it in soon, (under warranty) but I thought i'd try here for some help/advice first. Thanks!

Is this the first FT 4X4 you have driven? Sounds like regular driveline lag to me. You will get better MPG by going easy with the skinny pedal and let the 3.5L slowly increase speed in OD (full torque converter lock) than always kicking it down into 3rd.

Welcome to the forums.

no this is not my first full time 4wd vehicle. I wouldnt call what its doing "regular driveline lag". It's almost a feeling of its lurching forward and back. not EXTREME but its very noticible. you feel it in the entire vehicle. :confused:
