My 2012 Raptor has about 300-400 miles so far. The other day there was an accident on the interstate causing traffic to back up for about 5 miles. I got stuck in it and noticed my truck shifting very roughly (jerky) from 1st up to 2nd and from 2nd down to first in stop-and-go traffic. Has anyone else experienced this and is it normal? Is the adaptive system still learning my driving habits, and if so, could this have something to do with it? Thanks guys.

I noticed something weird too. I hit traffic and the truck would not let off 1,500 revs even though my foot was off the gas and we were only going about 2 mph. I had to ride the brake to coast...

Ditto on the hard shift from 1st to 2nd during "stop and go" traffic. Didn't someone say there was a engine control module update from FORD?

SoCoMech, is there a place that lists the different revisions and what they resolve so that I can be as knowledgable as possible when I go in for service?

Best way to solve it is a 5 star tune imo. Changes the shift points, and makes it feel a lot better from what I've heard.

Can't find the thread, but I seem to remember someone saying there was a FORD fix and that he was going in to talk to his local dealer. Or maybe I dreamt it.... ;-)
