Hello, I have a 2020 Explorer ST.

after a short drive I was at a red light and the engine started idling rough, after I put it in park at the red light and accelerated it would start shaking Moore and the battery light will turn on indicating that I wanted to turn off.

Got home and it still was doing the same thing put it into park and it it felt like I wanted to turn off almost like not enough fuel. After I would rev the engine up to 3000 RPM, at the same time, the battery light would turn on while revving.

Any help would be greatly appreciate appreciated. The dealer has no idea what’s wrong

Yes I took it in and they said everything was fine … it doesn’t do it all the time . It did it 2 days ago and today .
I’m guessing it could be the belt slipping and causing the alternator to skip?

Could be that or your battery or battery connections. How old is your battery? Do you have one of these?
