Noel1945 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Having vibration when accelerating from a stop up thru about 25 MPH. Dealer says they all do that. Vibration getting bad enough that even the dash now rattles when this vibration is happening. When up over 30 MPH I do not notice it. Anyone else having this problem? andeeca 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdefny Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 They do not all do that. I know of at least one that is smooth, even when using the ICE and even when pushing it. Dave Marsteller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdefny Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Also check out the tranny thread. Maybe there is something potentially serious going on. The Doctor Is hooked into information the rest of us might not notice for a while. Both CVTe's are the same. The Energi has a 2.91 gear ratio and the external (aux) ATF pump. Ford makes theseCVT's in house. They changed the gear ratio for the 2014 Hybrids to match the Energi's ratio for better mpg. Ford has also issued a TSB for CVT bearing noise related issue's caused by lack of ATF circulation on the Hybrids withoutthe AUX, ATF pump, while running on the HVB.

ScubaDadMiami Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 No serious vibration. How many bars are your acceleration burns? I mean, I guess that there could be more vibration if you are really flooring it, which I assume is not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtb9153 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Sounds like something in the drivetrain. I used to have a GMC truck which would vibrate badly at freeways speeds if I pressed the accelerator. Turned out to be the the torque convertor was bad. Not that we have one or a conventional transmission but might be a gear or bearing with the CVT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Noel1945, Let me take a look at this for you. PM me your name, phone number, VIN, mileage, and dealer info. Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnOhio Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Mine started doing it after they installed that mileage update. I think that has something to do with it. It vibrates when the ICE is running at low rmp's, and goes away as you pick up speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I have noticed it occasionally all along. Happens when ICE is on and with EV assist from takeoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel1945 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi Noel1945, Let me take a look at this for you. PM me your name, phone number, VIN, mileage, and dealer info. AshleyHi Ashley, thank you for helping me with this problem. I had taken it in to the dealer and someone from the garage took a ride with me and said that it is normal for the vibration since it has small motor mounts. It is getting worse. I am afraid that it will break down at some point and cause more serious damage. The mileage is 7,982 miles. The Vin# 1FADP5BU1DL529946 The dealer is: Landmark Ford My phone number is:503-786-3196. My name is: Leon Easley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) It could be wheel alignment - I had a tire noise and slight vibration from 20 to 30 mph. Had tires rotated and wheel alignment. The alignment was off.After tire rotation and wheel alignment - noise and vibration disappeared. I suspect the tire rotation placed the out-of-line noisy tire to the rear. Edited January 24, 2014 by joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andeeca Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hi Noel1945, Yes! I'm having the same problem. I know it didn't used to vibrate like this. Please let us know if you find out anything. I've asked the dealer that last 2 times in, but they find nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edsel Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I notice it when its cold and I have a high SOC. Kinda reminds me of my old diesel VW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adlo101 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Sorry to bring back this discussion, but was there ever a solution to this. My 2013 SE does the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxanotcar Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 I am not sure the problem Noel1945 experienced is the same as mine (see my post below back in 2015). It still have been happening (even in 2016) ONLY when temperature is below freezing less than 20F to single digit temperature or a lot of wind with freezing temperature. And it only have happened when the ICE is kicking in. When it has happened and when it have gone back to EV, that strange problem disappear until next time. There is only a workaround (for my CMAX at least): release the gas pedal and ease it back in OR press the gas pedal further to accelerate the car. After one of those workaround, the rattling noise with the high screeching sound from the ICE and high vibration that start from the dashboard to the vibration of the steering wheel will go away (until next time). http://fordcmaxhybridforum.com/topic/4681-engine-revving-up-highly-with-the-same-gas-pedal-press-but-speed-dropping I tried to accelerate from 0 to 40MPH within 10 seconds on a clear road (I posted in one of posts), and its sound was normal (although louder than usual) and there was no the rattling noise or high screeching sound from the ICE or high vibration on the steering wheel. Also, took to the dealership, and of course, they said they could not find the problem since there were no below freezing temperature on the service day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjam Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I had a vibration 2013SEL the dealer checke tha transmission then came to the conclusion there was a bad tire. I had them replace al tires 52K miles. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
