blankster Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I've taken several trips now in my 2011 LTD AWD and noticed that sometimes when I let-off the throttle around the 50-60 mph range the vehicle feels like the brakes are being partially applied or the transmission is causing exceptional drag. The vehicle seems to s;ow down too quickly. I thought this was some sort of hill-decent but I don't think the edge has that feature. Could one of these TSBs cause this problem?

Thanks for the explanation. I thought there was something wrong. There should be an explanation in the owners manual. I almost brought it in thinking there was a problem.
