I just bought a 2015 and it does the same thing...at intersections it scares the crap out of me! It does not matter how hot or cold the motor is and it does it almost all the time. The mileage is nothing to brag about either...not happy and I just got it.
I have the derringer installed in my 2016. It helps with cold engine lag but doesn’t eliminate it. I’ve found that driving in tow/haul mode helps significantly because the transmission shift points take better advantage of the engine’s torque curve. The aem update changed the shift points.
Unfortunately I haven't been keeping up with the forum recently so I missed this warning. If I had known this I would have pulled the trigger on buying a tune before now...salt in the open wound...
You should check with the dealer that did the service and confirm what recall they performed. If they did the AEM update they should have given you some paperwork including a warranty extension for emissions components and had you to sign some forms. If you want to check eligibility and submit a claim go to www.ecodieselsettlement.com. To submit a claim you will need to download/fill out the claim forms from the site and provide a copy of drivers license, registration, proof of vehicle purchase. They will also eventually need to see proof that the AEM recall was actually performed (either confirmation from dealer or copy of service invoice).
Looks like the settlement site does say August 1, 2019 for "former owners". A few pages down it also mentions Feb 3, 2021 deadline for "current owners". Since you are a second owner the one thing that might disqualify you is if the previous owner already submitted a claim and collected the $ (but that would also mean the truck already had the AEM recall done before you bought it). There is a hotline number you can call 1(-833-280-4748) and they can probably tell you if your VIN is eligible or has already had a claim against it...
I said the same thing !! But they said they couldn’t change the update...now after they have replaced the sensors the catalytic converter,fuel pump now they are replacing the engine good luck!!
Ya it’s called a lawsuit from California emissions
honey your only getting started... it’s been 4 months since my update and spending the last 6 weekends for fixes now they are replacing the motor good luck
now we are looking at replacing the engine. I have been stranded 3 times since this update for throttle issues... we can’t afford to trade ... making payments to a truck that has spent the last 3 months at the dealership....I used to love this truck now I can’t stand to look at it much less try to commute 100 miles a day to work with it ...as soon as I can dump it it’s gone!!!! Ford is looking better and better....

Thank you for all the information and your time it’s much appreciated
- I will be contacting the attorney to file a complaint !! I have been fortunate to have a dealership that has done everything in their power to make this right from reading what other people are going thru. I urge you don’t take no for an answer when the mechanic/ dealership tells you there is nothing they can do or they want to charge you the fix or rental car you really need to tell them—- this is Unacceptable!!!! Please let me talk Your supervisor ...trust me when I say the owner of the dealership they are fully aware of this and our aware that the update from this AEM does ruins the motor and it will need to be replaced ..there is a lot of good information out there on how emissions on a deseil engine works obviously the group that decided on this update flash did not consult a diesel mechanic first!! .. PLEASE..consumers..don’t take NO for answer contact the attorney file a complaint And take the truck back and tell them to make it right!! Especially if you are still making payments..
