fishx65 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 2010 FWD SEL. Took a long highway journey and noticed my Edge has a bad habit. Motoring along at around 78 mph she will downshift fine when going up a mild incline but is really slow to upshift after cresting the hill. Even after heading downhill it take a long time to get an upshift. I found myself tapping the brake a lot to get her to upshift. This can't be good for MPG! I've had lots of vehicles in my life and never had one behave like this before. Normal or a trip to the stealership in order???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter306 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 Might be worth trying this: Disconnect your Battery lead for about 10 minutes, then reconnect it. You'll probably have to reset your clock and presets, of course. I wonder if the transmissions 'adaptive' learning functions have picked up a bad habit and you're expriencing it in certain highway situations. I propose this because I tried it on my 05' mustang and it seemed to relearn the shift behaviors everytime the battery was disconnected. Cheap fix maybe? No guarantees.
