0Hi Guys.... I'm new to the car stuff so bear with me.
I have a question. I have a 2013 SE with 62,XXX+ miles and often times when I drive it feels sluggish or like when I press the Gas it takes a while to accelerate. I had a 2006 charger that did the same thing. What exactly could that be?

Exactly would be a stretch. We need more details on the car. When did it start doing this? Was it like this when you purchased the vehicle? Are there any other issues? Is it a hesitation? A lot of times, the car will get accustomed to your type of driving, and if you just tool around town, it will maximize fuel economy and hesitate to downshift. Any other detail would be great.

I got the car April 18th of this year. It was doing this when I bought it and yes there is a hesitation....there are no other issues with the car. I noticed it does it after I have to make a sudden stop of if I'm coming off of a freeway ramp.

Wonder if resetting the adaptives would help....?

Your car is currently mapped to maximize fuel economy based on past driving parameters.

^^ Reset the computer by disconnecting the negative battery for 10 minutes. This will allow your ecu to relearn your driving habits. If you don't put the pedal down often enough, it will revert back to the sedentary state it's currently in.
