When I switch on air- con and I accelerate,the car takes 3- 5 seconds before its starts moving which is dangerous especially when joining busy roads.so When joining I have to first switch off air con then switch
it back on when the car starts moving which is not normal for me so what could be the problem? Please help

Regards

Richard.

Better start with a scan, best to see if there are any codes in the system.
