Possibly a g/box fault - I've heard of faults where the torque converter lock up function 'sticks' sometimes.

Don't know enough about autoboxes to comment further...

If he's had a gearbox warning, there will be a code stored which any specialist can read...

First step with any autobox fault like that is to do an oil (and ideally filter) change. Cures many problems.
