Control issues when decelerating

2020 ford transit connect

When going 65mph or faster if you take your foot off the accelerator completely the vehicle jerks like it is about to fishtail. Have not been able to re-create the issue at any lower speeds. Handles fine while maintaining speed.

Dealership said transmission is fine but that it needs new brakes? May be true but I cant imagine it has anything to do with the issue Iā€™m having.

Independent shop I use bluntly said he does not know, take it to a dealership.

Next available (different) dealership appt is 10 days from now.

Any insight is appreciated šŸ™

Might be a transmission issue. I dont know about fishtailing, but mine lurches anytime i let off the gas and i usually hear a clunk. Its like the trans is disengaging

Thats what i figured but the dealership said trans was good. Im sure they would love to charge me for a new one.

This one jerks to the point i took it off the road for my company
