This has happened twice in the last month now.
Shortly after starting on a short commute, my 2017 802A with 10k miles accelerated to city traffic speed (30mph) normally with no problems, but then when I go to accelerate slightly, the truck won’t shift down and the engine will detonate. I can’t simply try to accelerate more without causing much worse banging/detonation from the engine.
Both times, I have manually shifted down a few gears and it smartens up and then the truck runs normally when placed back in auto. It seems like the transmission is sticking in top gears when lugging around town. Today it happened and I noticed the transmission was in 9th, and didn’t want to shift down. It gave one small bang which I assume is detonation when I tried to apply more pedal.
It has happened when very cold, and also today, soon after leaving a warm garage.
Usually the truck runs and shifts perfectly.
There are no diagnostic lights when or after this occurs.
Wondering if any of you have experienced this. Thoughts or ideas appreciated before I take it to the dealer, thanks.
