Bets_2013Shelbygt500 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hey guys, I've had my 2013 GT500 for a couple of years now and I just recently started noticing that the car jerks when I give it heavy throttle. It's in every gear when it reaches 3k RPMs. Anyone else have this problem? Should I be worried? I still have a year left on my power train warranty. By the way it's all stock. Might look into doing minor mods soon, also any advice on mods will be appreciated! Getting too used to the 662HP :p Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Shouldn't do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKSHELBY Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 i would start with the easy stuff. Have you ever changed the fuel filter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bets_2013Shelbygt500 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 No I haven't changed that yet. That was my first suspicion or the spark plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtmattUT Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 How many miles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) Does it go through it, ie, the engine is happy above 3K or does it continue to stutter above 3k? Check fuel delivery, filters and pumps. You should shoot a cell phone video of it happening and take it to your dealer.

Bets_2013Shelbygt500 Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 It's got 24k miles on it. It only does it at 3K RPMs and its fine after that. It like hiccups real quick at 3 and then it doesn't do it anymore. Does it in every gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 So what happens 8f ypu pass 3000 to say 3500 then down to 2500 and back to 3500 does it do it again? When it does happen are you accelerating rapidly ie what is your drpm/dt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bets_2013Shelbygt500 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 So basically it only does it at 3K and then it's fine. It doesn't do it when I'm driving it normal, only when I'm accelerating hard/flooring it. So yes if I go back down to 2500 and go at it again it'll jerk again. For some reason it's always right at 3K, really frustrating. Was on and off but now it does it a lot. Haven't driven it today to see if it still does. I'll test drive again tomorrow. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) So it sounds like it would do it, say, accelerating to merge on a freeway on ramp? (I know I certainly get over 3000RPM doing that.) Since it's easily reproducible, and if the above is true, in normal driving conditions, then I would take it to the dealer. Take the service manager for a short ride and show him. You do know that they will have to drive your car though.

Bets_2013Shelbygt500 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yea it would do it if I'm accelerating hard once it gets to 3K. Not just normal driving. Yea I'll probably just do that. I just hate dealing with dealerships. I've had problems in the past and they always tell me it's "normal" :/ I love this car! But these dealers are ruining the experience of owning these cars that need so much care. I'm afraid something will break down the road once my warranty is over, and I'll have to pay out of pocket for a pre-existing problem !

Altruism Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 What's your setting for Launch Mode RPM. Is it 3,000? Just curious? If so, go to the lowest or highest setting ( I forgot exactly what they are) and then take note of what's happening? Electrons are funny. This shouldn't ever happen, however, I've seen similar occurrences that should never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bets_2013Shelbygt500 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I don't remember tell you the truth I don't really use it. I'll check when I get in the car. But yea it's a quick sudden jerk and goes away but it's quite annoying. Also enough to slow me down just a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
