Unhappy Edge problems,,,

Well, I've had my edge for about a month now. And I love the Level 3 setting, but. It has some problems when Im driving on the interstate, or driving about 50 or 60. It feels like the tranny doesnt know if it wants to stay in gear or not. Sometimes it will shudder a few times a sec. And Im worried that its gonna mess up my tranny.
Did, or does anyone else know what Im refering to, or have/had this problm? Im wondering if its just my truck it doesnt like, or do I need to update it or what. I have left it on level 3 for a 3 weeks now, in hopes of it fixing its self.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I suspect it is your torque converter trying to lock and unlock. I think there was a fix for that. You probably need to update if you haven't. I use my cruise on level 3 with no problem at all. I bought my unit back in July and updated it before installing. Have run it ever since with no problems.

It does it usually on flat roads in cruise or not in cruise. I was trying to figure it out again today. Thought maybe it was the engine misfiring or something. I dont know. I guess I wll hook it up to my computer first thing tomorrow and see if I need any updates,,,before I break something.
Thanks everybody. I know if I can get this fixed, then I will totally love this thing.

this is normal for a lot of fords to do this. especially under 5,000 miles the computer is trying learn your driving styles and program the tranny. so i suppose when using the edge the factory computer thinks it has to relearn your driving style and causes the transmission to do this. you may have to take it to the dealership and have them reflash if it continues.

If you take it to the dealership, be sure to return to stock before hand. You never know when they will mess with the computer and not tell you. Then your stock program in your Edge will not be the stock program in the truck and you will be screwed. I went in for an oil change and an inspection and they messed with the computer. Sure glad I had returned to stock for the inspection.

Edge didn't fix the problem in the latest release. I tried mine out a few weeks ago and the shudder is still there. I haven't had time to tell edge but plan on trying to this week.

I never got around to calling Edge yet. Work has been hellatious this week. Hopefully next week I'll be able to drop them a line. If you'll shoot me your info (model, year, edge version, edge calibration, hex code), I'll also tell them your truck is experiencing the same problem.

i recently updated my edge only to find that it stll has the same shudder, just like every one else 50-60,with or with cruise. has anyone else noticed that if you put it in neutral and rev it it will go away. or if you just mash on the gas with it in gear it will also go away

it only does it when your very lite on the throttle because the converter doesn't know if it wants to lock or unlock..
