Anyone experiencing intermittent transmission problems with their FFE? I have an almost-new 2015 Ford Fusion Energi with 3400 miles on it that, for the past two weeks, has been suffering an intermittent transmission-related problem. During the few minutes of a trip, the car will either jerk/shudder under light acceleration, or jerk during light to moderate braking. It may do this for a few moments, and then stop, and not reoccur for the rest of the trip. The problem is intermittent - it doesn't happen on every trip, or on a particular trip, but the problem has been experienced with both a cold or warm car. It also occurs both using the electric motor, and the ICE. The car has been used for commuting back and forth to work, and the occasional short trip (~50 miles). It's been treated gently during this entire time. Otherwise, the car shows no other signs of trouble. An under hood inspection has turned up no loose connections. No trouble codes have been set. And I haven't figured out how to get the problem to repeat consistently. I'll take this into the dealership once the problem is consistent enough that a tech will be able to recreate it. Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated - thanks.
