Default 08 FEH, Jerking type hesitation with acceleration.

I have an 08 FEH, 118,000 miles and experienced a somewhat jerking type hesitation with acceleration from approx.30 mph to 55 mph, lasted about 10 seconds. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts what this could be?

Maybe your electronic throttle body? A common issue with Ford Escapes of the general vintage including the hybrid. You can google that to see how your symptoms line up with what others have said.

Thank you, I will. I'm not throwing any codes, just strange.

Watched that one and found this:
He say anytime the battery has been disconnected the electronic throttle body needs re calibrated. I'm going t try this first.
