Weird response when pressing gas pedal...
Has anyone ever experienced this? You hit the gas and you feel a studder-like response. This happened when I was in 1st & 2nd gear. When I go to 3rd, it gets worse.
Help!!!!

i think that was the hamster just taking a break and sipping some gatorade.
seriously, i know what you are talking about. did you notice the ESP light flashing? what were the road conditions? were you making a turn when it happened?

"drive-by-wire" Sounds like you just lost a bit of traction and ASR kicked in.
ASR is the traction control part of the ABS/EDL/ASR/ESP system. It activates pretty easily as you found out, especially when cornering. You can turn it off with the ESP button. I don't think the stability control "ESP" really shuts off with that button anyway-- just traction control.
