Vehicle hesitation and inconsistent throttle response
2020 Ford Escape Titanium AWD 2.0L Turbo with 533 Miles.
I've had this a few weeks and have taken it to a dealer but they were unable
to recreate my issue. I took the shop manager for a drive and again, it really
wasnt doing it that day.
From a dead stop, I sometimes get a bit of hesitation from my vehicle when
applying light to medium throttle. Its different than turbo lag for sure.
It shows itself more so at lows speeds such as 10-30 mph. Let's say that I'm
travelling at a steady 25 mph and am applying low throttle to maintain that
speed. The car will sometimes hesitate and jerk just enough to be annoying.
Passengers say they feel it.
At higher speeds 35+ and on the freeway, I dont see these issues occurring
and the car rides just fine. I also am getting a bit less mpg around 21-
24mpg with 70%+ of my driving being highway.
I used the initial tank of gas to rull out condensation or water (the car sat on
the lot for about 8 months). I just filled up with 93 Octane and have about a
half tank left.
Any ideas that I can use to get Ford to properly diagnose this issue? Very
frustrating.
