as I depress the accelerator the car lurches but doesn't accelerate until I am through the curve.

Sounds like the VSC is kicking in, the car may think it's skidding. Do you get any warning lights or beeps when this happens? If so, could be a dirty abs wheel sensor.

Yes, an icon lights up but only for a split second and I cant tell what it is.

TY NVA Keith!!!
It happened again this morning and I was able to identify the warning light that came on...it is the slippery road warning light.
Could low air pressure in the tires cause this?
It always seems to happen when I am accelerating through a curve/turn after I have slowed down to take the curve.
thank you for your help!
