Description of the problem	When accelerating from a stopped position the vehicle has a two (2) second delay before it engages the transmission. This is very dangerous issue when entering a busy road from a parking lot or other stopped location. A two second delay can place a driver in a life or death situation. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who was unable to diagnose the problem. They did mention that it could be "turbo lag" since it needs time to build up. They also stated that all software programs were up to date. It is still dangerous turbo lag or not. According to a road test conducted by consumer guide automotive this problem was a issue for them: "several test cars exhibited issues with the automatic transmission, including delayed response and slurred shifts. Gm was aware of these problems and issued a fix that involved re-programming the transmission's software." it's obvious that this is not a software fix issue since all programs were updated on the vehicle and the problem still exists.
