Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I quoted your post in my previous one and my post was actually for the OP. If he can do the test and give us some idea of the figures. Also while at speed he can put it in neutral ( it's possible on automatic) and see if the car lose speed quicker than normal, then this will mean something is wrong with the wheels or the brakes.
Regarding the acceleration that is true, but I do it every 30sec to 1min here 😉.
And my foot is quite heavy ( number 11) 😄
