I have been having this issue for many months where the car would not accelerate right when starting from a stopped position. It would shift very hard & jerk even harder from 1st/2nd & 2nd/3rd. I took it to the ford dealership & they explained it was the transmission so i paid for a transmission flush even though it only had 32k miles. They also at this time resent the computer to my driving habits? The problem…

Leaving parking lot and the car began to lurch. Then it began to idle with the lurch. Pressed accelerator and no response other than the lurching idle. Had the car towed to ford dealer. The service advisor later stated that the throttle body needed to be replaced and that the parts are back ordered. Probably 12 days was his statement. Recently found out that it may be 3 to 4 more weeks for the part. *tr
