Ford :: F150 1984 - Shuttering At 35 MPH

1984 Ford F-150. Yesterday, began to shutter like a screen door in a hurricane at 35 MPH. I hit the brakes, it pulled hard left. Figured some catastrophic failure of my brake system. Pulled over. Had it towed to mechanic. Mechanic says both front discs have to be replaced (calipers, pads, brake lines). Seem reasonable? Something about sticking calipers and warped discs, etc..

Passat (B5) :: Shuttering / Stuttering When Driving?

So lately I have noticed this shuttering/stuttering when driving. It doesn't happen at any specific time its sort of random. I didn't know if its because of the extreme cold weather we have been having but its been happening too much. But I have also noticed a pretty gross oil smell coming from the car as well. What it could be?

Touareg :: ESP Kicks In Right Away Or Under Acceleration?

Does the esp kick in right away or under acceleration does it get a little sideways? MY 2004 seemed to kick in to always keep the truck straight, my new 05 tends to get a bit sideways while accelerating.

Ford Excursion :: 2003 - Started Shuttering And Then Stalled

Ok, my 2003 Ex Limited with 109,000 started doing the same thing today that it has done many times before. It started shuttering and then stalled. It comes out of nowhere and then the overdrive light flashes at the same time. I have had the coil packs replaced in the past, but not all of them at once. I also had the torque converter replaced last year as well. I am pretty sure that it's more coil packs that need to be replaced again. I'm sick and tired of replacing coil packs on this truck, it seems like they go bad very quickly. It's so bad I'm thinking about getting rid of this truck and getting something different.

Passat (B6) :: Shuttering In Front End When Go Over Harsh Bumps - Bad Engine Mounts?

I have a 08 2.0T sedan with 97K that I have been chasing a "shuttering" feeling in the front end when I go over harsh bumps like railroad tracks and frost heaves that we get on roads here in NE.

At this point the front suspension has had a lot of improvements done and problem still exits.

Front suspension work over last 6 months:

- New LCA Bushings (solid rubber style rear and Whiteline front)
- Koni FSD Shocks
- VW DG Sport Springs
- 034 Density upper strut mounts
- Meyle HD Sway Bar Link
- ECS Sub Frame Bolt Kit

After all this there is actually an increase in this shuttering feeling most likely due to a firmer suspension now with new springs.

The car drive fantastic, the feeling that there is something loose up front and the shuttering feeling when hitting harsh bumps is diving me crazy.

In addition, I drove a local VwVortexer's 06 Passat that is riding low on coilovers and it did not have this same shuttering from the front so pretty sure what is going on in my car is not normal.

Completely went through front suspension last night and tripled checked that everything is tight and secure!

Also, have upgraded sub frame bolts with ECS kit and checked all the bolts to make sure they are tight and all is good.

Since after all this work and substantial $$$ investment the problem is still there, should I be looking at motor mounts ?

The engine/tranny is no where near secure sitting in the existing mounts, have noticed two things that have been this way for quite awhile.

If parking brake is not on when tightening or breaking loose lug nuts car has a lot of rock back and forth and you can see engine moving a lot if hood open.

Last night I put a large screw driver between right side mount where piece from engine goes into frame mount and I can move engine side to side with minimal effort about 1 1/2" or more.

One more thing, when coming to a slow stop at the last downshift just before you stop I get a light clunk from left side somewhere and if you slow down from 50 mph or so to 25 to 30 mph and then put gas back on you get a left side clunk too but not always. Does it sound like bad mounts?

Ford Excursion :: Shuttering Noise And Slight Vibration When Upshifts At About 50 - 55 MPH

With normal acceleration my ex up shifts at about 50-55 mph and makes a shuttering noise and has a slight vibration briefly during the up shift. Could a tranny fluid change work?

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2010 - Shuttering When Accelerating From A Stop

I have a 2010 F150 Xlt super crew with a 4.6L. I've noticed lately when I start from a full stop the the truck has a small shutter or hesitation before it starts accelerating. Its barely noticable but it is there. What it could be? I had the tourque converter replaced just before my warranty was up, I've only put 30000 Km on it since. Was wondering if it could be the cause.

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: 2002 - Popping From Rear End / Shuttering At Take Off

I've recently purchased a 02 F-150 4x4 with 135k showing. About a week after purchase 4 COP's were replaced to eliminate a skip that started the day I drove it home. After a few hundred more miles it started shuttering at take off, much the same as the trans shuttering usually in higher gears/speeds. Only does it briefly in 1st gear and occasionally it goes into 2nd, but stops immediately after shift. After about 10 miles it stops doing it and until the trucks sits awhile it stays gone. About the same time a popping sound started coming from the rear axle at slow speeds. It changes sides as you drive and turn, and sometimes goes away intermittently altogether. Also is it possible or probable the two are related ?

Touareg :: Loss Of Power Upon Acceleration

Occasionally I experience a temporary loss of power when I try to accelerate. I press on the accelerator and nothing happens -- then finally catches a second or two later. Usually it happens at lower speeds as when turning a corner in town or when climbing a hill.

Touareg :: Slight Whining Upon Acceleration

Speed doesn't' seem to be a factor. When I am coasting and then step on the throttle I hear a faint whine coming from the drive shaft or the right rear end. Faint and only upon acceleration. Is this common? Along with all the other "noises" upon start up.

Acura - Legend :: 1987 Automatic Transmission Slipping / Shuttering When Shifting To D At About 35 Mph

My 87 Acura Legend with 210,00 miles has an automatic transmission slipping problem. Car will not start moving when in the D position (slips), but if i shift manually to 2 , then S3 , it shifts ok except for some shuttering when shifting to D at about 35 mph. It also does not lock into Park when shifting to P position( car will roll when on a hill.) The shift cable and adjustment are ok. The S3 light does not blink and there are no codes stored. The trans fluid was changed 5,000 miles ago and level and condition are both good.( I have only used Honda fluid for the life of the car and change it every other oil change.) I removed the shift solenoids to find all of the screens clean and all solenoids clicked when 12v applied. At this point i realize i probably have an internal problem (possibly bad clutch pack?) My question is why doesn't the parking pin lock? Is this related to the slipping problem?

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Shuttering / Sputtering At 40 - 60 MPH After Decelerating And Slowly Accelerating

I recently bought an 04 lariat crew cab with 56K miles 5.4 and auto trans. Before i bought it i complained about an exhaust noise and acceleration issue at 40mph and 1100 rpm as well as the ac not being very cold. They replaced the exhaust manifold on the passenger side, coil pack on the #3 cylinder, a transmission flush, a flash drive update and recharged the ac. This seemed to take care of the problem but i mostly drove under 30mph and did not notice it. I took it on a few road trips, and country roads and noticed the problem of sputtering and shuttering between 40-60 mph's after decelerating and slowly accelerating. The problem occurs consistently with ac and over-drive on in the above mentioned conditions and mph range. Problem is less noticeable with ac off and have not noticed it at all with over-drive off. It feels like a limited slip kicking in or driving on dry pavement in 4wd. Tranny shifts fine through all gears in a straight pull of acceleration and even full throttle pulls. Problem only occurs after decelerating and slowly accelerating. I don't know of any codes as I don't have a code reader, but I have not had any check engine lights come on nor has the dealer mentioned any codes.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2007 - Shuttering / Shaking Like Ran Over One Of Traffic Bumps

I have a 2007 Ford Expedition with approx 135k miles with a 5.4. At approx 45 miles per hours it starts shaking and shuttering. It feels almost like you ran over one of those traffic bumps. I've had quite a few issues I've been working so I recently changed all my plugs with motorcraft platinum and all new COPs.

When I am going approx 45 miles per hour it will shutter for about 1-2 seconds with overdrive on. You can almost time it that it will do it every 4 seconds. With overdrive off, you can feel something dragging down the engine and hear a light grinding noise or a mechanical sound but the shuttering is less. I feel there is something definitely cycling approx every 4 seconds.

When i am doing heavy acceleration I feel that it has adequate power and now that I've replace the plugs/cops I don't feel any significant misses etc under hard acceleration (before I changed the plugs/cops I did feel misses).

Ford Fuel System :: Shuttering / Shaking After Replaced The Bowl Gasket

My problem is I bought an 85 motorhome with the 460. After getting it home I realized the accelerator pump was leaking. The engine ran great and I drove it home over 100 miles. After pulling the carb I replaced the pump and put it back on. Then I had a big leak from the secondary bowl gasket, but the engine still sounded great. When I replaced the bowl gasket then I got a leak from my metal fuel transfer line between the bowls. Engine still sounded and idled great. Pulled the carb again and this time replaced the front bowl gasket the 2 o rings on the fuel line and put it back together. Now I have no fuel leaks but the thing would kind of Idle but it shuttered the motorhome like crazy and then die. It would start right back up and do the same thing.

So I had a leak. Engine ran great. Then I replaced

Both bowl gaskets
Both o rings on fuel rod
Accelerator pump and that' s it

What could my problem be. I have only made one adjustment and it was to the IDLE screw to keep it from dying but it still has the shakes.

Touareg :: Tranny Shifts At Low RPMs, Not Much Acceleration

I have a V6. When I just want to slowly get going I very slowly depress the pedal and hold, or leave off when speed is reached. Tranny shifts at low rpms, not much acceleration. I have completely avoided kickdowns, which exhibit a bit of a lag. When I really need to get going quickly off the line I steadily press the pedal more quickly than for a slow start. The effect is quite remarkable; tranny holds gears until about 4,000 or 5,000 rpm, and the car really moves. When I need to accelerate and I'm already moving I always shift into sport or I use the TIP.

Touareg :: V8 - Engine Valve Clatter Under Acceleration

Our 2005 V8 makes an awful noise under acceleration. I think it sounds like a valve clatter, but I think I remember reading it was some part in the exhaust making the noise. I've tried all fuel options to see if it was related to what OCT fuel.

I brought it in for service (5 recalls, nice) and they didn't hear it (of course) until I took them for a ride. The tech said he remembered earlier models having some issue.

I don't buy that it's "Normal" because I don't hear other 4.2 V8s making that noise, and I sure has hell don't think a 45K SUV should sound like somethings broke when it revs past 4K.
