2016 Explorer Sport lugging issue.

[Nick Hess]

Hey guys looking for some help here has anyone experienced a a lugging issue kind of like a light miss at cursing speeds? We have a 2016 Explorer Sport with 30,000 miles on it and it feels like we have a miss between 40-65 mph it jerks a little bit like it should be in 5th gear but it is in 6th, it doesn't matter any mode that it is in this happens. If you hammer on it or if your accelerating hard it is not there only when cruising. We had the Transmission fluid changed in it I have been told Torque converter has anyone had to do this?

Check your spark plugs. The 3.5 Ecoboost can be tough on them. Many SHO owners have talked about this on a few of the other forums.

Hey Nick. One of the issues with the 2016 Explorer was the throttle body. 2016 Explorer Throttle Body Problems
