| Description of the problem | On initial take off, when the truck shifts through 1st and 6th gears it seems like the engine slows to the point that i have no power and then shifts. It also feels like the transmission slips. Have been told this is normal, but it is certainly a safety concern for merging into traffic because i can't get up to speed fast enough to avoid an accident. Ford needs to address this issue because it happens on most of their ecoboost engines and the 10 speed transmission combined. This truck has the 2. 7l ecoboost engine. |
