Transmission Issue

[GeoffBu]

Hi all. I have a 2016 GLE 350d 4matic, and a couple of weeks back experienced a strange gearchange issue, in that, as I accelerated, the car seemed reluctant to change up through the gears, and once on a motorway, wouldn't go above 7th. The manual + paddle did nothing (no "M" indication), and coming off the motorway, would not change down using the paddle, but did so automatically as I slowed down. Got home O.K., checked next day but all was fine!
Since then I've towed our caravan up to Yorkshire, had a couple of trips to York - all fine.
Today, the same thing happened, on a return trip from the supermarket. Reluctant to change up, and paddles inoperative. I stopped at the side of the road, stopped the engine, restarted, all good again, manual changing too.
Anyone experienced anything similar?

TIA

Sounds like an engine issue causing limp home mode . When you reset the ignition you effectively reset the fault ,until it happens again. You'd need a scan doing to find stored codes ,and hopefully an answer to why.

Would check error codes and see if anything is stored.
