Default Shudder issue 2011 f150 4x4 ecoboost

I just recently purchased a used 2011 F150 ecoboost. The truck has a shudder when backing up and moving into first gear from a complete stop. It also sounds like something is rubbing when I make a turn. This is my first truck purchase. I love Ford, always have but this is driving me crazy. And to top it off, today driving home, after pumping gas, the "mile left until empty" started ticking off like a stop watch. I drove 45 miles and when I started it said I had 329 until empty. By the time I got home, 100 miles had ticked off. This was straight driving. No sitting at stop lights. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I have the shudder too and it's been into the dealer three or four times. And I keep hearing it's because of my leveling kit.

Have you returned to the dealership so they can perform an inspection, Darklady? Once you've had your appointment, touch base with me and I'll look into ways to help, if needed. All I'll need is a PM from you with your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership.
