I always thought it was yet another electrical glitch. |

I have got used to anticipating when I am about to move and allowing my SD4 Auto to go into 'Creep' mode before applying throttle.

Ive not had the no-response issue but would agree with the above that the SD4 isn’t a “foot to the floor and go” car - if I want to get going quickly, I get a much better response from the car if I press the accelerator gently and not far - the car jumps to life. Then push further. If I go from no foot on the accelerator to pushing to the floor it’s almost like the car sits thinking “are you sure this is what you want? Sure? Ok. Go”.

I've had mine 7 years so used to the throttle lag by now, just have to judge it carefully at junctions ! |

Chuckalicious describes the SD4 exactly. Although the SD4 can be surprisingly fast, it needs a little time to make up its mind and do it.

I have had exactly the same problem that AndyPP describes, but only very occasionally. It last happened for the first time in over 6 months as I was pulling onto an A road. Luckily there was a good gap in the traffic. Normally when waiting at junctions/lights I go into Neitral and back to D, but I will try going to P instead. I did ask the service guy to look to see if there were any error codes, but none showed up.

There is no need to do anything other than keep your foot on the brake whilst waiting as the Autobox will wait in a 'False Neutral' with little strain on the engine. I always try to anticipate moving, and remove foot from brake, allow the car to just start to move, then apply throttle gradually but firmly until (quite quickly) full acceleration (if needed) is achieved FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011) FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015) Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History (Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?) |

I changed the crank position sensor on mine last week and it has changed the symptoms but not cured it.
