Stang Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I'm wondering if this is normal or if I have a problem or how to stop it from happing. On my 2014 EDGE Sport when I go WOT in sport mod in first gear and tap shift to second gear at 6000 rpm it shifts into second gear for a second or two and then shifts into third gear with out me touching the paddle. Is it suppose to do that? Its like it is skip shifting by its self. Any help here is appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I think it will shift automatically sometimes if you're near redline. I've heard conflicting reports. My 2000 Lincoln LS was the first Ford vehicle with Selectshift and it would never upshift on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Thanks for the info , Its at about 4000 RPMs when it shifts from second to third gear. It dose the same thing when I hit the paddle from third gear to fourth it shifts into fifth gear. Very strange, its as if it thinks I'm hitting the paddle shift again.

akirby Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Try it at lower rpm and see if it behaves the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I don't think it's normal. Probably a PCM reprogramming is required. Just report it to your dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I tried it at lower same thing thanks, so I guess it is time for the Dealer. Try to do two things at the dealer, it seems to take a long time to go into drive after I have had it in reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnkirstin Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 If you are paddle shifting when the car is in DRIVE... it will automatically shift. For true paddle shifting... place the transmission in MANUAL. Boom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is an old post but I was thinking someone knows something about this that can give me an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point it will only shift when you use the paddles (manual mode). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColleenD2 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Can you explain this more to me please? I am new here. I have a 2018 Edge SEL with tow package, I am towing about 2,500 lbs of cute little trailer and know nothing about cars but am willing to learn. Should I have the car in S or D when I tow? I’ve tried both. If S, should I be using the paddles all the time? I do know how to drive a stick so should I treat it like that? If I don’t use paddles but have it in S am I doing it wrong? Sometimes the RPMs just go up really high in either mode and it scares the heck out of me and then they fall back down but it really really revs, especially in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri where I camp often. I asked the dealer to check it and they just said there were no reports about an issue. This makes me so nervous when it revs up like that and I am usually the driver and my husband is an artist so he can paint a pic of the car but he is no help. I appreciate any advice. Thanks!

akirby Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 If you’re towing on hills I would use S so it doesn’t lug the engine and/or shift too much. It’s ok if the engine revs a little high for short periods, especially if going downhill so you don’t have to use the brakes as much. If S mode doesn’t provide enough power going uphill or enough engine braking going downhill then you can use the paddles to downshift. Once you use the paddles you’ll have to keep using them until you shift back to D. on level ground you can probably get away with D. You can also use the paddles in D mode to downshift temporarily and it will go back to automatic mode after a few seconds. No need to manually shift all the time unless you just enjoy it.

ColleenD2 Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thank you so much! And weird question, can I switch from S to D while driving or do I have to be stopped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 You can switch back and forth as much as you like without stopping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
