Curious as to whether there is any merit to my thinking here. My '05 300C has only 13k miles on it and I've noticed it always has had a "flat" spot or dead spot in throttle response when you initially press on the pedal lightly. If you press more aggresively, no problem. I have driven other 300Cs and they do not seem to have this issue.

However, I noticed when I turn off the ESP I do not have the problem. Could the ESP be misprogrammed somehow??

Thanks

 

there is a delay built in so the tires are not broken loose with the esp on. There are programs that can turn it off but i think its for a srt8 not a regular 300. Aftermarket stuff may be out there.

 

Thanks Tech,

But I suspect those program additions would void warranty, correct? Plus, still wonder why I did not notice the "lag" on other 300Cs
