I recently purchased a new 2006 E350 SD Cutaway. 5.4 liter, Automatic, Gas. When stopping the vehicle the transmission jerks as it downshifts into first gear just as it is coming to a complete stop. Thinking this was a defect, I returned it to the dealership and had the technician determine that it was a sticking solenoid. The parts were replaced but it still "jumps" as the transmission downshifts into first gear. I asked to test drive another exact truck on the lot and it is worse than mine. The techs and advisors have heard of no problems like this from other customers but I have never driven a vehicle that does this. Does anybody have any clues, or is this just inherent of the Ford Transmission?
