Hi,

I haven't experienced any acceleration delay but that could be driving style and quality of roads. Is there a specific surface ... say gravel covered roads?

Bob,

The acceleration delay issue is a variant of the TC issue "I can't get up my driveway". TC cuts all motive power when there is a wheel slip. This symptom was reduced in the 2007 models where the motive power was reduced, but not completely cut off.

Yes, if I try to accelerate while turning (turning seems to aggravate the issue) on gravel, sand, or snow my 2004 will just stop. This makes me fair game for a broadside. I've adapted by not to taking advantage of our speed off the line when merging.
