Dealership changed 1 out of 4 solenoids. And still have the problem. Did they change all of them for you?
They definitely did not change all of them because eventually the error code mentioned 1 bank had the problem. So it was only 1 or 2 of them.
I think this happened a couple of weeks ago I was at a stop and my idle drops from 500RPM to 350RPM and my car started shaking but ever since then it has not been doing that should I take it into the Dealership?
You can try and take it to the dealership. I took mine 4 times.... They couldn't ever find the problem and every time I picked it up, it was filthy and half of the gas I dropped if off with, was missing. As much as it pained me to do so, I ended up trading it in for a new 2021 Scat Pack. The good news is... that finally fixed the problem.
It's early yet but so far, after an oil change, I have not had the issue. I've owned a lot of cars but have never had an intermittent issue go away by changing the oil.
If VCTs had debris in them from dirty oil, yes an oil change can "fix" the problem, as long as that problem was related to debris in the VCT.
That's how mine started. Hate to say it, but it will get worse and begin to stall. Maybe not days from now. Maybe not weeks from now. Could be months, but it will happen. It won't throw a code and Ford most likely won't be able to find out what's wrong with it, because there's no code and it won't (of course) do it while they are testing it. I believe I received a letter from a law office concerning a class action lawsuit for this issue. I tossed it, since I had already (reluctantly) gotten rid of the car.
Unfortunately, I 100% agree with you that it will happen again and get worse over time. I'm amazed on how many problems these cars have. I thought my 2018 2 SS Chevy Camaro was bad, but it looks like Ford is about the same or worse.
The Scat is... okay. It definitely has more torque and the 8spd is smoother than the 10R80, but I feel like it might be slightly slower. There's also small peeves like the window switches will make them go down automatically, but there's no auto-up for the windows(really?!). Also, the UConect infotainment sucks compared to Sync.
One thing I do not miss about the automatic Camaro was that damn Active Fuel Management, where to save gas mileage, the engine goes from V8 into V4 mode. I believe Dodge has the same feature, but it is named MDS. Also, the Camaro had poor side and rear visibility.
Yeah, MDS isn't terribly noticeable in the Scat, but the engine has to be hardly working at all for it to come on and stay on. I think Chevy's implementation isn't as good. Ford doesn't even need it, because the Mustang already gets pretty good mileage. My 2019 GT would get around 29MPG highway, running on 8 cylinders the whole time. The Camaro's visibility and completely unusable rear seats are the main reasons why I didn't even consider buying one.
