Big Shudder

[OTACORB]

I've never experienced what I would call shudder. I do find that early mornings when the engine is cold, it's a bit noisy when it fires up for the first time and it even sounds a little rough. I have also experienced hearing the handoff from electric to ICE, but then most of the time I don't hear it at all. I think all this is likely pretty normal since it's done this since the first day I drove it off the lot.

8900 miles now and happened to me once. I just took off from a stop sign so I wasn't going fast and it felt like it happened when the ICE fired up. I let go of the gas pedal and it stopped. Has not happened since. Unfortunately, I didn't make a note what mileage was.

Just want to add this video. I apologize for the very low audio so please turn up your headphones. I was trying an action cam out and caught this on my video. I've had the shudder happen around 4-5 times. The camera's video stabilzation really takes away the violent shudder but I describe it as "A stick shift leaving a stop sign in 3rd gear instead of 1st by mistake" If you have driven a manual I think you will understand what I am describing. The shake is fairly violent vs a handoff between Electric and ICE and shakes the whole truck. The local Ford dealership isn't confident yet that they can replicate it so they suggested to bring it in when it happens, which is like catching lightning in a bottle. I can say that for sure, it has happened when the motor is cold, in the morning and/or when driving at slow speeds like 25-30 mph. In the video the Maverick is transitioning to ICE at about 28ish mph. I hope this helps others. 1700 miles on my Maverick to clarify a bit more.

I couldn't tell but did you let go of the gas pedal or no?

Yes I did. It will stop with either letting off the gas or stepping on the gas.

Ken, You have just caught Lightning in a Bottle (isn’t that a Metallica song) that is exactly it! Thanks for sharing!

Today it felt like I went over rumble strips. I let off the gas and it was gone. Is this what you feel?

I’m only around 1000 miles too.

Is everyone that is experiencing this in a cold climate or from both cold and warm?

Yes that’s a good comparison to the feel of it.

Temperature? I think it was between 50-60 degrees when I felt mine do it the one time.

Yea, that’s a good description.

Definitely started during cooler temps, buts it’s not really cold where I live. Some icy mornings but it’s also happened on a decently sunny morning like in the video.

It was 50 degrees here today.

I experienced this once yesterday at 20ish mph early in the morning just about when i left for work. Exactly like in the video. I was shocked for a second like what happened? did i run over something before realising it was the powertrain. I noticed it was around the time when car was in full electric mode and then ICE came on once shudder stopped.

Could be between handoff's this happens for whatever reason?
