While discussing my new order with my sales rep, he told me that some 4.4i owners complain of a bit of tranny hesitation on initial acceleration. He gave me an '06 to test and I felt it myself. It seemed to be less noticeable in Sport mode, however.

Can anyone explain why this occurs and how any of you have dealt with the issue?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me.
