My stock 2018 GT Limited (AWD) has about 14,000 km's on it. Around 12,000km's, 75% of the time when accelerating hard. either off line or rolling, the car launches as it normally would and then once the needle hits around 4000-4500 rpm, it locks it in place (at ~4,000) and the throttle becomes completely unresponsive for about 2 seconds during the lock. If you aren't prepared for it, the sudden loss of acceleration (during the 2-3s lock) is enough to throw you hard enough forward to knock the gear into neutral if your hand is resting on the shifter.
Absolutely no lights come on the dash during or after. I've had about 5 trips into the dealer now and they still have nothing at this point. To me its a big safety concern and I'm now starting to get upset at how long this is taking to resolve.
Has anyone else had this issue? It doesnt matter if I use launch control, traction control on/off, a full tank of gas or sport/custom mode, it continues to occur ~75% of the time.

Sounds awful and alarming. I'm so expectant of full RPM right up to redline that if the car suddenly bailed on me at 4K RPM and just "hung fire" there, it would feel like some THING had taken possession of my car. And to have nobody be able to sort it out, this descends into madness. Hit and miss to boot!? Of course we have to guess: it has to be electrical but if it is interface related, you'd expect an error/warning code to flash. That the ECU isn't "getting it" tells me that this is probably a wiring harness or similar disconnect: not quite fully disconnected, but getting close (only one out of four launches giving joy, heh!).
