My 2023 F150 Powerboost jerks whenever I accelerate from a low speed. First it will start to roll on electric power from a stop but when the gas engine starts, it feels like the electric motor quits and a jerk is felt when the gas engine kicks in. To me this feels very annoying cause I've never had a vehicle act in this way before. IDK if the Ford engineers have fixed this annoyance for the 2024 model year or not but I wish there were a solution for this annoyance so that my 2023 could benefit. What about you there Mr. "FixOrRepairDIY", have you also noticed this event happen in your Powerboost F150? Please reply and thanks.
When my truck was new, the transition from EV to ICE was pretty clunky. Not only was the gas motor coming in, but it shifted from 1st gear to 3rd. I don't know if I would call it a "jerk" but it was clumsy. Now the transition is like butter. I think it has a lot to do with the transmission "learning" your style, as well as some OTA software updates seemed to tame the beast. You might want to watch the same metrics that I show in the back half of this video so you can see exactly what's going on. Or take it to the dealer and see if they can apply some updates. cheers
Ford probably can help you, my experience with rough shifting was a bit extreme. My truck was not downshifting if the truck got up to 7th gear in electric mode. Sometimes I would find myself sitting stopped with the truck still in 7th gear and I could feel the electric motor putting lots of torque on the drivetrain. When I took my foot off the brake to start accelerating from a stop the truck downshifted abruptly into 1st and that was clearly not suppose to happen. Ford fixed it, they kept the truck for a couple days while they arranged for a factory technician to connect remotely to the truck and 'reset' the Transmission ECU.
Thanks for posting this. Would you happen to have the direct link to be able to set up the custom dashboard? I can see how it is very useful.
No, it's a file that you need to download. Look for posts from @snakebitten in the f150gen14.com forum.
@@fixorrepairdiy4609 Thank you! . I shall do so, now.
