Happened when I needed to move the car very quickly with it switched off. Almost felt to me like the handbrake had stuck on and was causing friction back through the drivetrain.

I asked the dude at the service center and he said because everything is electronic its just the computer adjusting it self to certain parameters. So I dont know if he was just Bull sh*ting me or if that is what is really happening.Yeah you gotta wonder how many customers questions they respond with this answer too. They may as well say 'shutup and stop asking questions, im the professional, not you.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely, though, it only does it when I first start it in the morning. Hours later when I head home from work it doesn't do it. Just first thing in the morning.

There is no chance to let it run. It just happens when it's started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you mean when you put it in reverse and start moving backwards that it starts to shudder a little bit Edited 24/04/10 06:20 AM by osonvs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't shudder on normal idle, though.Either way, I'd be surprised that for a brand new performance car, I'd have to wait 30-seconds for the car to get a grip when I first turn it on.I decided to be safe rather than sorry, so I've put the car in for a service early tomorrow morning. It'll be interesting what they say, and I'll be sure to let you folks know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that mine would only shudder in reverse if the fuel/100km was over 6.0 L/100km (on idle). Once it was under 6.0 L/100km(on idle) I would then put it in reverse. Shudder no more. Takes like 10sec to get it under 6.0 L/100km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight into reverse it surges/ shudders after a morning start. A blip of the throttle or back into neutral fixes it, im due for my 3K service next week. I will let you know what ford says.
