Can anyone help me please? My SV6 has an intermittent problem that’s driving me nuts.
Checked with a mechanic - no fault codes.
Started with the cruise control disconnecting and wouldn’t reengage. Wait a while and then it’s fine.
Now it’s developed to dropping down a gear or even 2 while driving steady on the motorway. Can be quite startling at 100k/h when it drops to 3rd and revs go to about 3,500. Feels like hitting the brakes. When it dropped down yesterday I went to manual and selected 5th which it showed on the dash but it didn’t change gear. I was shifting between 4th and 5th on the dash but no rpm change so I don’t think it was changing gear.
Also sometimes get the stability control off warning then the gear changes but not always.
Sometimes it happens once or twice other times up to 10 times. Can drive for an hour just fine other times starts happening pretty quickly. Can go for a few days no problems other times can happen all the time. But definitely the trend is getting worse.
