Transmission & drivetrain

I have noticed significant hesitation when I launch the car from a stop. When the car is completely stopped, and I step on the gas pedal, a lag of 1-3 seconds is observed. Within this time range, the car just idles as-is without moving forward. The same problem happens when I attempt to accelerate from 10-30. I consider this to be a safety hazard for myself and other people on the road.*Ak
