Default Vibration. Slow shifting

It's noticing - about a week now, that I'm getting a slight vibration on idle or in first to second. Feels like it could shutoff but never does. I also feel vibration in the gas peddle...

Ecoboost. Anyone else experienced this

Small issue and maybe a nonissue. But a bit of a nuisance

Yes, i have the same issue! It's driving me bananas!!! It run down to 900 when going up an incline and will not shift down. The shift points are all wacky...to me. I'm not sure what to do really. I'm going to talk to the dealer but I'm pretty sure they'll give me the typical "normal" bit.

Worried about the same. Might have to get Brittany involved. If normal - I think it would have done this from the beginning....

I'm ashamed to say I didn't even know it was there.

Wow. Just cruised around the neighborhood ( I think the neighbors have reported suspicious activity!!)

That really opens it up. Amazing difference. Still want to figure out Normal driving mode - but I imagine that will be my dominant setting!

Thanks!

Someone else posted in a separate thread they had similar problems. I remember hem saying driving in sport mode fixed them. Not that you should have to drive in sport mode, but they indicated it drove a lot better in sport mode.

It does drive better in sport, the shift points should NOT be runny that low rpms in normal driving. Period. It really is awful.

I've only had mine since Saturday and have not noticed this issue at all. Smooth as butter.

Noticed it with mine .. I think it's part of the shift strategy to stretch out fuel mileage .. I don't like it at all
