2008 xlt highway vibration parking sputter
Maybe I'm beating a dead horse but I can't find anything on here. I bought a 08 f150 with the 5.4 with 96k on the way home I noticed the trans vibrates when I ease off the gas then speed back up. Like running over rumble strip. Then when parking at Chipotle and again backing into the driveway when I cut the wheel the engine stated to sputter like it was in limp mode. I have five days to return the truck. Any thoughts? Something simple? Take it back and run?

Usually the vibration is fuel related where the computer is trying to adjust fuel based on motor load and RPMs. When you take your foot off the pedal the computer makes a 100 different adjustments based on sensor information. Hard steering ,right or left, puts a load on the motor because the power steering pump is working hard.
I don't know how much you like the truck but I take it back and RUN....... This is a demon you could chase forever. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck!
