2013 V-6 Automatic Downshift Bump
the car downshifts to 1st gear just before stopping and then your jerked and bumped sometimes hard and sometimes never. Or do a slow stop and put in neutral and get ready for the bump/jerk and listen, as it travels through the driveshaft, for the rear end bang. As usually its intermittent making a diagnosis difficult. Dealer tried to fix but no success. Has anyone had this problem repaired by a Ford dealer?

I have noticed this happening to my 2014 v6 auto, sometimes it shifts or hits hard if you are going slow and then try to accelerate. I also have noticed the downshift when stopping, both issues happen once in a while.

My 2011 v6 does this also. I 'think' the little rpm drop between 2nd gear and 3rd gear is the torque converter locking and the 'jerk' before coming to a stop is the torque converter un-locking. I'm not sure but this is what i 'think' is happening.

It's still better than the auto...
Pull fuse #47 in the engine bay. Do that for 15 mins ghen put it back it. You might just need the adaptive learning to be reset do the shift points smooth out a bit.

It still doing it intermittenly. Left it at dealer about 2 weeks ago for a whole day. They did not drive it long enough to experience it, in fact they only took a 2 1/2 mile ride. They checked the computer for updates found none and sent me on my way.
