Good evening, I'm hoping someone on here could help me out with two gearbox problems with my 2012 Insignia Auto 2.0 CDTI.
(1) When pulling away after being stopped for over a minute with car in D at either lights or when in heavy traffic as soon as you take your foot off the brake to pull away it doesn't creep forward but can either jump forward or stay stopped and as soon as you apply any throttle pressure the car will harshly engage drive and jump forward. Doesn't do it all the time and the only way to stop this is by moving the stick from D to N when stopping.
(2) There is also a vibration from the vehicle at various speeds but mainly at 60mph when slowing down the car starts to shake (just like a manual when you don't change down) I believe the car isn't changing down a gear but stays in a higher gear causing it to vibrate, the only way to stop this is to put the car in manual mode which stops the vibration and when you manually select a higher gear it says shift denied. Proving auto has not selected the correct gear.
I've had the car into Vauxhall and they have updated the software but that only lasted a week before symptoms started again. They have said nothing else they can do and what do I expect with 123k miles on the clock. I thought about changing the gearbox oil but Vauxhall say it's "a sealed unit for life"
Hoping someone may have come across this before.
Regards
Steve
