Hey guys, bought a 2015 f150 2.7 ecoboost about 3 months ago. My second Ford, first was a 89 f250 with a 302 in it. Anyways, I've been researching on here about this vibration I have but no one seems to have the vibration that my truck has or maybe I have missed it. My truck seems to vibrate in higher gears while at low rpms when I give it a little gas. It only slightly vibrates for a spit second, at first i thought it was the road but then got to noticing it happening a lot. The only thing I can compare it to is like the small lines they put before a stop sign sound and feel to warn you to slow down. It does it in 5th and 6th gear mostly when i accelerate from a low rpm. Anyone else have this and is there a fix? Sorry if i'm beating a dead horse. Thanks

I’ve had this similar thing happen in my 2015 ford and I’ve never been able to figure it out. Manually downshifting seems to cure it. The ford dealer and the techs that I’ve talked to say that it’s just the transmission and driveline doing that from being in such a high gear and such low RPM.

Push harder on the go pedal.

It'll shift.

Thanks for the help, mine shifts fine its just on the interstate running 65 i get these quick short vibrations every time I give it a little gas. Just don't get it and was wondering if anyone else had the issue. Thanks for the input.
