Hm. Mine hesitates slightly, then bumps up a notch when starting from an idling stop or AS, too, and sometimes hesitates slightly when I attempt to accelerate at other times. And sometimes when I go to brake, it doesn't respond as quickly as it should, necessitating a harder stop than I'd like. The braking problem I've noticed since I purchased the car used in August '07; the acceleration hitch I've noticed only starting recently. I'm approaching 55,000 miles, so maybe in another 5,000 I'll go in for 60K maintenance and mention that bulletin.
