Hey Everyone, I just got a used 2020 JLU 2L Turbo. Absolutely no corrosion and looks brand new. However, I have noticed a little bit of a delay in the throttle response. Especially when going like 30-40 MPH. I don't notice it in manual mode, but when in automatic mode it gets into 7th gear or so.. and the throttle, I need to dig about half way into it before it wants to downshift. Just seems like the throttle is not very sensitive. No engine codes. I did take it to a shop for a PPI, and it does have an issue with the Oil Seperator, but that's covered under the drivetrane warranty. Wondering if there is an isssue with the Throttle Body, of if that seems normal. I did test drive another 4C Turbo.. but it had corrosion, but it didn't seem to have the same delay. Thanks much..

i have a pedal commander works for me. There are a couple manufacturers of throttle response devices. Maybe there is one already installed (on either vehicle) which is why you felt the difference.

You will get used to it, just drive it for awhile and enjoy! They do have different characteristics

The transmission shift adaptives are constantly adjusting, you'll likely have to drive it a few thousand miles before it gets considerably better. The last owner probably didn't drive it very hard.

I've seen a handful of these fail and cause APP DTCs in addition to limp mode. I'd suggest staying away from the pedal commanders
