I’ve got a 2022 OBX and recently noticed a small issue while driving. Whenever I’m going at lower speeds, especially in stop-and-go traffic, I feel a delay when I try to speed up again after slowing down. It’s like when you release the clutch too early in a manual car. It didn’t happen often at first, but now it’s happening almost every day, even at higher speeds like 30-45 mph.
I took it to the dealer, and they said it’s because the transmission is electronic and the computer takes a bit to respond to the pedal. They didn’t find any error codes, so they just left it at that.
I checked some Ford forums, and I found a similar issue with the Escape. People are saying it’s normal, but I’m not sure how true that is. The Bronco and Escape seem to be similar in a lot of ways, so maybe that’s why.
Has anyone else had this happen? Did you find out what’s causing it or get it fixed? I’ve only had my Bronco for just under two years.
Thanks in advance for any advice
P.S. It only happens in normal mode. When I switch to sport, slippery, or sand, I don’t feel the delay.
