2005 Maxx with 3.5. 99,000 miles. Just started where when I give it 3/4 throttle or better there will be a severe hesitation then the car wakes up and takes off. Odd thing is that when the hesitation occurs the RPM's still go up as if the engine was responding correctly to the throttle input.

Do you mean accelerating from a complete stop or while your driving?? If it's while driving I have the same problem, the motor revs, growls and then suddenly lurches forward...
