Lol. I'm sure you're right. It doesn't sound like there is anything wrong with the vehicle. As you said, it's probably just the way they programmed it. And I apologize for pointing this out to you. If you're anything like me, you'll be looking for it all the time now! Hopefully it's less...

That’s the exact feeling I’m talking about. Like you’ve switched into too high a gear at a certain speed and you get that shudder. I guess what I’m hearing from this thread is this is normal (hence Normal mode lol) for the 1.5l engine. I guess our personal style just prefers Sport mode where...

Wow. This thread took on a life of its own. My initial question wasn’t about a lack of power. I’ve said that several times in this thread. It was more around figuring out if other owner’s of the 1.5l engine felt their engine “lugged” when cruising in Normal mode. I’m not an idiot. I understand...

Thanks for the info. I guess my use of the word “lugging” was a little off. I meant it to mean that feeling where the RPM’s are just so low that you can feel it in the drivers seat. I don’t drive the vehicle much, so it’s not a huge concern for me. I understand Ford wanting to go for best fuel...

My issue isn’t a lack of power. I understand what Sport mode is doing. In Normal mode I find the engine RPM’s to be so low when cruising at a constant speed that it feels like the engine is lugging. Yes, I can step on the pedal for more power, but the engine still shifts at a much lower RPM than...

We have a ‘21 Outer Banks with about 13k miles. It’s my wife’s daily driver, so I rarely drive it. However, when I do, I find that in Normal mode, the engine RPM’s go so low that the engine seems to lug unless I give it enough gas that it drops a gear and brings the revs up a bit. I said...

I don't think you're being paranoid. There was definitely a rattle in ours that I had never heard before. It wasn't a little rattle, either. It was very noticeable. I'm hoping as others report the same issue to Dealers, Ford might issue a TSB once they determine the problem. Crossing my...

I have experienced the same with our OB. We have about 800 miles on it. I was driving through our neighborhood yesterday afternoon, and just like you say, while accelerating lightly, I heard this very strange rattling sound. As soon as I let off the gas it went away. It seemed like after it did...
