My MY19 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 3.2 auto has a vibration on take-off just before it changes into second gear. I have taken it to two dealers and both have stated itâs a characteristic of the vehicle. I contacted Ford as well before taking it to the second dealership and have had no joy with them. Can you help?

Being such a new vehicle it’s unlikely to be a simple service issue, more likely a calibration one. If you are concerned about it have an independent automatic transmission mechanic assess it for you.
