I'm used to letting my foot off the gas, letting the car slow down itself, then gently applying…

Car seems to lag when i step on gas pedal from a stop position (when i'm stopped at a red light). It has happened 3 times now and only when i'm trying to turn left. Vehicle doesn't jump, but there is a lag and the car doesn't go, even when i'm pressing down on the gas pedal. Does anyone else have this problem? This is my first brand new vehicle and i'm pretty disappointed. *tr
