Exactly, there's no way this is some sort of "normal" behavior for a car like this. I'm the only person that drives my car on a regular basis and i haven't let anyone else behind wheel part because of this... What am i going to say when they ask me why the car suddenly jolts or jerks from a stop? "Oh it's just like that"?... At it's worst, when releasing the brake from a stop the car delays for up to a second and then SNAPS forward, as if someone from behind bumped into your car at slow speed. Ugh.

I hada Progman update done a few months ago to fix an Ipod 6FL issue, didn't seem to effect anything regarding this at all.

I might be going in for Dinan this summer, and i want this problem fixed!
