ENGINE STUMBLES ON LIGHT ACCELERATION LIKE IT IS STARVING FOR FUEL. I HIT THE GAS, THE ENGINE STARTS TO RESPOND, THEN STUMBLES. DOESN'T NATTER IF THE ENGINE IS HOT OR COLD. I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2018 F-150. DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING, AS IT DOESN'T PRODUCE A FAULT CODE AND IT DOESN'T ACT UP WHEN THEY TEST IT.

TURNED OFF ENGINE BUTTON W/O PUTTING IN PARK AND CAR ROLLED BACK ON MY DRIVEWAY

EVERY TIME I TURN ON THE CAR, IT MAKES AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL HUMMING/BUZZING SOUND. THE CAR MAKES THE SOUND WHETHER ITS SITTING IN IDLE OR WHEN IM DRIVING. IT IS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR AND SOMETIMES SOUNDS LIKE A STATIC IN/OUT BUZZING/HUMMING SOUND. IVE HAD A COUPLE OF MECHANICS LISTEN TO IT AND THEY SAID ITS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH. ONE MECHANIC TOLD ME ITS SOMETHING WITH THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. YOU HEAR THE SOUND MORE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK SEAT ON THE FLOOR. IT IS AGGRAVATING. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I AM TAKING IT TO FORD TODAY B/C I KNOW THIS HAS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT......A CAR SHOULD NOT BE HUMMING/BUZZING AND SOUNDING LIKE A STATIC NOISE.............THAT IS NOT NORMAL...IT'S A BRAND NEW CAR!
