I don't think it should but let's see how many say the same thing.
to me it reminds me of the auto stop/start in my prior 2018.
This happens at every stop where it goes into electric mode and when you accelerate it will jump second gear when the engine kicks in.
My truck used to be smooth as well. I hope I am not thinking more about this now that I have seen it in action.
Which is like mine. I try to feather to keep it in electric mode as long as I can but it beats me to the punch.
Okay, so here is my experience...I wanted to test drive the hybrid before I bought mine, so when I test drove one(not the truck I ended up purchasing) I felt what I think you are describing. Almost like a ”jolt” when switching from electric to gas. I just chalked it up to being “the way it was“ with a hybrid.
My truck was the unnoticeable up until the 1,000 mile mark. My salesman says that the transmission is in a learning process for the first 1,000 miles. I have an appointment tomorrow with the dealer to check this out.
Ford told my dealer it may be one of 3 things. The first was to reflash the transmission module, check aux pump pressure, replace the aux pump if pressure was low. The third item was some clutch sticking. either way, it needs to go to the dealer for a minimum of two days to evaluate and correct.
