Interesting. It only seems to happen to me when I'm driving conservatively. I'll see if it happens when I stomp on he pedal.

Yeah, my hesitation is for sure in the middle of 2nd gear. (5AT). Only happens under moderate acceleration.
If I'm going slow, it will simply shift into 3rd before the hesitation would normally happen.
If I'm into the throttle a bit more, it will rev though the RPM range without hesitating.
When/if it does hesitate it's aprx in the 2700 - 2900 range.

Yep, starting to think there is no issue...just a trait.

This happens to me only in 2nd gear and moderately acceleration . At first I thought that the transmission was going bad. Good to see I'm not the only one that has experienced this. My rig is 2012 w/73k miles. I bought my rig w/48k miles.

Thanks for this thread. I was about to call the dealership to ask if something was going haywire. Now I know it is the norm. Bought mine 2012 2dr with 42k. Owned 2 others before this one. 2007 2dr and a 2009 JKU. Those did not do this. This is good to know. Thanks again.
