    Acceleration Problem

    This is good to know. I was also looking at programmers, but wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with it first. It's still under an extended warranty until March. Despite me bringing it in a number of times since owning for this issue, I'm told it's normal... I had the fluids changed out...

    Acceleration Problem

    Thanks, that's excellent info! Plugs and boots have been done, shortly after I bought it at 80,000 miles. They ended up warrantying one of the spark plugs out for a mis-fire.

    Acceleration Problem

    It's also worth noting that I'm getting atrocious gas mileage. Even for our truck's already low standards. I do mostly commuting traffic, not really stop and go. I'm at a hair above 12MPG. Granted we've had a lot of weather changes around here. Not to mention winter gas. Planning on running...

    Acceleration Problem

    Hey everyone, thanks for the replies! Sorry for the delayed response. My car is DBW. I've been told multiple times that the sluggishness of the transmission is due to my year being the first year of the drive-by-wire. Sounds like BS to me. I might as well start with the free/cheap stuff first...

    Acceleration Problem

    I was doing some searching around on the forums here and think I may have a few of the common problems our trucks have. I've been fighting with the dealership on this since we bought it (we have an extended warranty). It's a 2010 with 105,000 miles on it. When sitting at a stoplight, you can...

    Thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it! I've got that third-party aftermarket warranty that I bought when I bought my truck, so now I just have to convince the dealership(s) to actually replace parts like the coils and MAF. I'm going to see what I can figure out about these cam phasers too.

    That's what a lot of people are telling me. I kind of think it's something else though. So with your test, if they respond about the same in both situations it's just the way the computer is? Or, I guess a better question might be, what SHOULD the outcome be if everything is "normal". I'm just...

    I think I might do all of the things you mentioned as well. Yesterday I found myself in a pretty dangerous situation and the truck did NOT respond in the manner that I had anticipated. I'd accept these weird quirks it has, except that this isn't some rare super-car, this is basically the...

    That is an excellent idea. I had the spark plugs replaced along with the boots. Is there any reason you wouldn't want to do that? Or maybe any reason why the dealership wouldn't have done that?

    You're right, that's not exactly fair. It's pretty smooth when it's going through the gears, it just gets a little sketchy when I need to pass the "self-righteous" Prius driver doing a cool 45 MPH in a 70 while in the fast lane. The dealership told me that the performance for the transmission...

    I ended up taking it to a different dealership this morning to get a second opinion. They ran a diagnostic at my expense. They called me and said the transmission thing is normal. They're going to check to see if there's any software updates, but we'll see. They also couldn't duplicate the...

    Thanks for the responses! I had the spark plugs and boots replaced. It cost me $300 (that's WITH them "helping me out"). Is the lethargic transmission performance related to the plugs/coil issue then? To me it seems like it's hunting for gears more than anything else. I haven't driven too many...

    Good evening fellow Expedition owners. This is my first Ford, well my wife brought one into our marriage. I needed something beefier to pull my boat, and boy does it ever. I paid PLENTY for this car, and I'm wondering if you might be able to answer some questions for me or perhaps share in my...
