shutter at around 50-70mph when barely touching gas
2015 Ford Explorer Sport, 3.5L V6 Ecoboost engine. Started having issues where I noticed the car "shudder" while trying to maintain highway speeds. In otherwords, when I was barely touching the gas, the car would shake or shudder as if it was needing fuel. Started to notice this around 17k mile mark. At one point the engine completely lost power and I could only drive about 20mph while the RPMS where maxed out. Barely made it to a Ford service station. Car now has about 46K miles on it and does the same thing. Ford corp won't fix it saying there's nothing wrong. Dealer won't fix it because Ford won't reimburse them. Bought an extended warranty...which apparently is worth $0!!! First car I've purchased in over 15 years and I'm really not pleased with this $50K purchase!! I've had a ford tech and service tech drive it and they all felt the same shudder...but still nothing is being done.
Update from Jan 13, 2017: engine hesitates or misfires when trying to quickly accelerate on a consistent basis.
