I did some searching, but haven't found anything concrete to support my claim. So I may be incorrect.
It’s nice to have discussions with adults… who don’t feel the need to hurl insults, ridicule, etc.
Wrong or right, both won.
Kudos sir.

How you do calibrate the throttle body?
It is my understanding that the throttle body is calibrated by putting the ignition in RUN without starting the motor. After everything finishes booting, slowly depress the accelerator, hold at max for a second and then slowly release. If the intake snorkel is off, you can watch the throttle body valve respond.

I would also try turning off the Forward Collision Warning on vehicles experiencing severe hesitation on acceleration.

1) Turn off Auto Start Stop
2) Go to Uconnect->Safety/Driver->Forward Collision (Off)
3) Calibrate the Throttle Body
4) Try a new Throttle Body ~ $200

I have tried the recalibration with the gas pedal before, this is the first I am hearing about the forward collision warning system. I will give that a try in the morning. Thanks!

Try tow mode too. It’s like sport mode

Unfortunately, shutting off the forward collision warning didn't help at all. Tow mode does feel like sport mode but the delay on reacceleration from slow speed is still there. So frustrating.

Anyone ever try a PCM tuner, like a diablo sport, to try to rectify the problem. I have a service appointment at the dealer on the 8th, I don't know why but I am not super hopeful they are going to tell me anything.
