I’m taking my 2018 to Ford tomorrow. Having issues with slippage and jerking when up and downshifting mainly in the lower gears 2nd-5th. We’ll see how it goes.

Welcome to the place, how did it go at the dealer and which dealer did you take it to?

Nice to see some positive feedback on a dealer for a change, lol.

My experience has been the same so far with a Gen 2 that I have under consignment for a client. Bucking primarily during downshifts at lower speeds. Based on my limited diagnosis skills it appears as though the issue occurs around 3rd gear. It's currently back at Ford (they just replaced all of the spark plugs and coilpacks in an attempt to "fix" the issue) however I'm not holding my breath that they'll be able to resolve it as they clearly didn't road test the car after the recent service.

@mad man do you mind posting up your service report showing what all they actually replaced? May be a good thing to have before I get feedback from my local dealership since the issues seems to be similar.

Thanks,

Chris

I know this is an aging thread, but @mad man Have you experienced any issues since getting this work done? I am at a point where I need to take it to the dealer and I’m hoping they handle mine the same way and just fix it.
