Acceleration seems to be decreasing over time

[garyjuergens]

We gave 18k on our Telly, and for the last few thousand, my wife and I both feel like the acceleration is more sluggish than it use to be . Car is always driven in comfort mode. Used to be snappy.. not it feels as though there is a delay in the acceleration that didn't use to exist.

Just filled it with premium from a new station. Previously, we would fill it at QuickTrip.

Anyone else feeling this acceleration curve sluggishness?

That seems to be really early even if you're not using top tier gas and fuel system cleaner periodically. Premium gas won't do anything. Dump two 12 oz bottles of techron when empty and fill it up. Give a couple tanks and hopefully it restores it. You could also take it to the dealer as their techs drive them all the time and should be able to diagnose if it does in fact have a loss in power.

Not sluggish here... im at 22,000 ... i use eco smart and sport (when i wanna have fun)..and snow when needed...

Same here but I think because I have been easy on the throttle when driving in traffic. Most cars will adjust to the driver’s behavior. Purchased PC today ($50 off) just to take care of that exact problem. i want to be able to feather the gas pedal in stop n go traffic but quick response when needed.

The Telly seems to take longer to adjust which is good because living in the city your driving habits depends on traffic condition. My Mazda adjust its response after one drive, very frustrating.

When I bought the Mazda, i Picked the 2.5 engine over the 2.0 because the it was only rated 1 mpg less. Now I know why. Should have gone with the 2.0 which is much more responsive and fun to drive. Mazda cheated

I have the same problem with my 2024 Telly and I’m only at 2680 miles. It gets frustrating and I always think that the dealership gave me a bad car?? I wish I could understand cars
