I have a 2015 GT Performance Package with manual transmission and have a question. This may only happen on manual transmission cars, I'm not sure.
I'm experiencing what feels like on/off torque loss when I accelerate, especially when the engine is cold. Not during hard acceleration, just with regular driving. I usually drive in sport mode, but can feel it in the other modes as well.
For example, if I keep the gas pedal pressed at the exact same spot while my speed is increasing, it will feel like the car is going at normal acceleration, then it'll lose some power for a second, regain power, lose some power. It feels like torque loss and makes the car jerk so the occupants can feel it.
I've brought it in twice to the dealer for service, but they've told me they can't reproduce it and it's normal behavior for Mustangs.
It happens mostly on a cold engine and I've been told there are security measures to save the engine from hard accelerations when it's cold, but this happens while I'm driving normally.
Anyone else experiencing this too and is it really normal behavior?
