Does anyone else notice with their Powerboost a sometimes lumpy idle from time to time. I am wondering if it is something like a program in the gen head for de-sulfication or battery maintenance? it seems to happen from time to time and not last long.

I noticed it on the test drive I did with a demo vehicle and then on this one. Most times it is extremely smooth, again it feels like a cycle to me.

Cheers,

 

I notice when sitting still and motor is running to charge battery idle is extremely rough…kind of crazy…

would love to get this resolved

 

i think that's just the way it is

 

Same issue here, did not really notice it in the summer/fall but really do notice it now in the winter and more so when very cold!

 

I've noticed this a few times.

I have the ECO-IDLE turned ON in my settings, so most of the time the truck idles at the 1300-1500 RPM or whatever and I've never noticed it.

But a few times when I suspect the hybrid battery is at full charge (cold weather, running engine a lot to get heat) the truck will then switch to a more standard 800-900 RPM idle and then I have once or twice noticed its a little lumpy / bumpy. I don't know if I'd say rough it just doesn't feel like its idling nice and smooth.

Then other times it idles at 800-900 RPM and its completely fine.

So who knows what is going on but for me it is so rare I don't think I'm going to try to tackle anything with the dealer. It actually sounds like a fairly common thing so I almost wonder if its just part of the truck and nothing is really "wrong".

 

The 3.5 ecoboost does this from time to time, all years, all variations in my experience
