Transmission jumps on deceleration

[kendrickkay]

Hello everyone, I have a 2017 ford explorer police interceptor, the transmission jumps on deceleration, it does well when accelerating but the jump only happens on deceleration. I just replaced the transmission fluid but the problem still persist. When slowing down or when the engine is used to slow the vehicle down,that's when I get the jump. Can anyone help me with possible ideas as to what the problem might be?

Transmission is programmed to downshift when decelerating, it's so that the car is ready to punch it. Shouldn't be an actual transmission issue. It's also programmed to downshift aggressively when you stomp on the brakes.

It only jumps when it's slowing down to almost a complete stop, I'll say around 3 or second gear then it jumps once, sometimes when I drive all day, it doesn't do it.

I had this very problem with our 2015 Edge which shares the same drive train with the Explorer. On deceleration the transmission would do a hard downshift many times. The fix was installing a new transmission control module. Luckily this was covered under a warranty because the cost was around $4k.

Thank you for the heads up I will have to look into that as well and see if that fixes the problem
