Hey guys,
I've mentioned this in another thread but really haven't seen anything online that's quite what I'm having happen with my Explorer and was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.
When my Explorer hasn't completely warmed up (anything below ~half on the temp gauge) it will shudder violently when not accelerating if above ~35 MPH. Soon as it warms up it's fine other than it randomly hard shifting which (i think?) is an entirely different problem.
When it's shuddering the digital RPM gauge fluctuates noticeably, and you can see the AWD Gauge fluctuate as well. It feels driveline related, you can feel it throughout the car. It feels like the thing is going to fall apart. Has anyone experience anything like this? Very difficult to get the dealership to diagnose with me because the car has to have been sitting for several hours.
