I'm feeling possible vibration in drive line of the space machine. Uh oh.

 

[robbybenson]

Sorry to hear, is it at certain speeds?

 

[Adrenalinejunky]

While accelerating From 0 to 20ish.

While accelerating From 0 to 20ish.

Straight line acceleration or while turning? I feel some slight vibration when accelerating from a stop while turning.

 

[Adrenalinejunky]

Normal acceleration and going straight. It's very minor. I will get a service ticket going after the holidays. I read somewhere one fella had his driveshaft changed out....guessing the front.

 

[Adrenalinejunky]

Negligible vibe while accelerating lightly (low rpm but loading) 20-30mph ish I would say is most notable. Seems to be easier to Id when decelerating between 40 and 30. I use eco mode. Also produces a harmonic sound in conjunction with vibe while doing so (exhaust?). Dealer says it's normal on ST. Writer actually mentioned its the tires....OMG. I mentioned its quiet in neutral through those speeds.
Our loaner, a 2020 Xlt 2.3L had no such concern.
Can anyone else verify normality? Ty.

 

[Adrenalinejunky]

Update. Drivetrain vibe / shutter now verified by service dept. Also test drove a fresh st on lot, ran perfect. I was promised a platinum loaner during repair....awaiting its availability.
Personally, I think it's in the transmission.

Ford has had my st for over 6 weeks and it looks like they cannot fix it. Thoughts?

Check out the Lemon laws in your state. Sorry to hear about your problems with the ST.

 

[Adrenalinejunky]

Now being told that driveline vibration is normal with the ST. This is after driveshaft change with no improvement. This confirmed by dealer and district service rep, who happens to have an ST himself....supposedly.
I would think some other st owners here would be concerned with your st vibration. Hmmm.

 

[Adrenalinejunky]

Can moderator please move this to warranty and trouble section?

 

[PajamaGuy]

Mine is smooth as my wife's.... And I hate vibrations and rattles. I have none.

I think I would try a different dealer. Then go to BBB.

Buyback has been approved. Awaiting details.
Really want a replacement ST, but I was told they all vibrate (district area service rep bigwig) so I'd be a fool to do so......or I'm being given misinformation just to blow me off. Either case, that's not comforting.
Thoughts?

Not sure if my problem us the same as yours, but I searched and found this post of yours. Mines is basically a rumble noise/vibration when letting of the gas and letting the car coast from 40mph to 30 mph. When I go in neutral it's not a bad.

It is hard to describe the rumble, but it hits more my ears than like a physical vibration. Feels like engine braking or something but it's not doing that.

 

[Adrenalinejunky]

That's what it is my friend. Mine is more notable from 30 down to 20. No biggie, but there is a constant light vibe at highway speeds that seems to come and go. I noticed it around 2k miles. Miles on yours?

 

[Vash610]

2.3k miles is when I started noticing it.

 

[Vash610]

I think it is progressively getting worse. I feel like the car isnt getting enough gas something and will shut down on me.

 

[Dgoebel57]

2800 miles on mine and none of the stated symptoms. But ST's can be built with several wheel / tire combinations, etc. Any of these could be the specific cause above and beyond the drive train.

 

[Vash610]

I have the street package

 

[Adrenalinejunky]

It's not the wheels or tires. It's in the drive train. Key words; in neutral it's fine......that eliminates wheel or tire issues. I hope they figure it out soon for the few that have to deal with this.
