- 2007 Sport Trac Limited
Hello all, this is my first post on these forums!
Been reading a ton of posts and learning a lot about the Sport Tracs.
So I just recently bought my first ford vehicle an 07 Sport Trac Limited with the 4.6l V8 on May 29th of this year, it has 141257 km (I am Canadian). So on Monday I was driving up a hill and I was doing approx 60 mph or 100 kmh, I let off the gas and when I pushed the gas petal i got some shaking and hesitation in the vehicle. I have a 90 day warranty from the guy I bought it from and I have taken it to the mechanic who couldn't find any issues with his code computer. So we took it out for a test drive and when shifting form 4th to 5th he experienced the same hesitation and shuddering I did, he reset the learning mode for the transmission and it will be going back for a fluid and filter change. Since his reset, I am now getting a consistent hesitation and shuddering when going from 4th to 5th gear or in around the 80 - 100 kmh speeds.... I should also mention I only get the hesitation and shudder when lightly pressing the gas petal if you push the petal to the floor I cant tell if there is any issues.... oh and it sometimes gets the same results when going from 5th to 6th...
So my question is this could it just be a fluid issue? or should i insist on getting other things looked at while its under the warranty...
Any help would be appreciated, I love this vehicle and don't want to have to fight for months with the guy i bought it from to get the work done... that and would love to put my wife's mind at ease....
Thanks all.
