I just purchased a 2011 Chevy Cruze LTZ RS. I've noticed that on take off the car hesitates a second before it goes. Example: pulling into traffic is very dangerous because when I floor it the hesitation sucks. Is anyone else having this issue?

Well if this is a known problem then Chevy needs to solve it before someone gets hurt. i've almost had 2 wrecks because the car pauses and then decides to go.

If it's Savannah, GA, I'd absolutely run premium year-round. The heat and humidity do a number to a car's throttle response down there. Running the air conditioning at setting 2 or 3 for 9-10 months of the year definitely won't help, either.

I'd get the re-flash at the dealer for the hesitation, re-gap the plugs, and run premium in the tank going forward. Also, look into a tune if the hesitation is still there.

What do you mean by getting it re-flashed at dealership?

I checked my spark plug gaps and got the following:
.022
.025
.024
.019

I changed gap to .035 and the crazy idle is completely gone.Throttle response is slightly better. Thank everyone for the post. I really think Chevrolet goofed on this one. I'm going to fill up and check gas mileage and post results later. AWESOME!!!
