Does the DS5 have a gearbox issue?
I've heard a few people say the auto gearbox in the Citroen DS5 (2012 - 2014) is unreliable? Is this true? I know there is a pause between gear change, that wouldn't bother me. What do you think?
Our answer:
Hi Brian,
We are not aware of an issue with the automatic gearbox, though there was an actuator issue with the later manual gearbox.
