I could swear this has been talked about here but I did several searches and can't find it. Today with 700 miles I came off the thruway at the toll booth (deacceloration) went through at 10MPOH then punched it lightly and the car had a major hesitation as if you turned off the key for a secnd, did this three times in a row and then took off. Any ideas or what the latest on this? Luckly I'm taking it in tomorrow for its first oil change at the dealer and wanted to offer anything we might have. Thanks

Maybe it's got something to do with that ECU flash everyone's gonna need? Dunno...

Yeah, read this one:

Talks about it towards the end.

I have a suggestion on this one. Often times at toll plazas, because people have to slow down, a decent amount of oil builds up on the roadway in these areas, you could've picked up oil thereby causing the TCS to engage and shut the motor down. Once the oil was off the tires and you were clear of the oil source, traction control no longer had issues.
If it never happened before, I'd bet this is the issue.

We drove ours to P.A. from FL and right around S. Carolina, we came to an idle and it was idling up and down. It went away after about a minute. I meant to have it checked when we were up there, but really wanted to have it checked here at home.

I've had it happen twice, and it IS a dramatic loss off power. Both times it happened during hard acceleration,in 2nd gear, on right turns, with TCS on.

But he also commented that at high speed on the highway...after reducing speed...that the car didn't decelerate as quickly as it ought to have.
I'm thinking it's a problem with the drive-by-wire throttle control, which is new for Ford this year. Either way, let's hope there's a quick fix before the import crowd start chanting, "We told you domestic quality stinks!"

A week and a half later, it has never happened again.

Yes it's the drive-by-wire throttle. I recently read about it in the December issue of Mustang Monthy. They commented that under normal acceleration the hesitation is not noticeable but during a gun-it they too had the "hesitation". Unlike traditional throttles where the gas pedal is physically connected, with the drive-by-wire there is no physical connection, it's all electronic. A sensor reads the amount of pedal pressure and the computer responds accordingly. Hopefully Ford is working on their software to correct this problem.

Mine was not a hesitation in the beginning. I gunned it after a stop light to get on the highway. After accelerating to the top of first gear, it then hesitated.

I'm thinkin' your buddy has a funny perspective on what to complain about.

oh, BTW, Robert (I'm not by any means pickin' on you) but the "drive-by-wire" throttle control has been used on the Power Stroke since '96 or 97. It was tested and proven before they applied it to this.

Didn't hit the shutoff. Didn't move until it hesitated. It also happened before I shifted. When it did, I up-shifted to 2nd. Then it picked back up.

Thats what I thought. Never hit that before. Figured it wouldn't hurt to mention it and get some feedback.
