Switches itself from carpet mode to floor mode constantly
SOURCE: Dyson upright, no suction at bottom in carpet or
Hi its Darran at Dyson.
It sounds as though the machine is blocked. with the machine switched off, check the base of the machnie by removing the soleplate and clearing any obstructions. With the soleplate removed, you will be able to check the internal hose and clear any threads or hair trapped around the brush bar.
If you would like a step by step guide, visit the Support section on our website at www.dyson.com.
I hope that you find this information useful.
Kind regards

SOURCE: Dyson won't go back into upright position to engage suction
The dyson.com website had a solution for this particular problem. Just press in a button in the area around the right wheel while lifting the rear of the vacuum up. This allows the base to roll forward enough to go back into the upright position. I did this and it worked. All fixed.

yes there is an adjustment called a power cam. I am enclosing a link to show you exactly where it is

This is over a year too late, but perhaps this will help other people in your situation. Here is how the switch assembly should go together:
CARPETS OR HARD FLOORS
• The brush bar will always default to 'ON' (spinning) each time you switch the
appliance 'ON' and recline it for cleaning.
• The brush bar will not rotate when the appliance is upright.
• To switch the brush bar 'OFF' (e.g. for delicate rugs and hard floors):
- switch the appliance 'ON'
- recline the appliance
- press the brush bar 'ON/OFF' button - the brush bar will stop spinning.
• The brush bar will automatically stop if it becomes obstructed. See 'Brush bar -
clearing obstructions'.
• Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs and carpets, check the manufacturer's
recommended cleaning instructions.
• Some carpets may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this
happens, we recommend vacuuming in 'hard floor' mode and consulting with
the flooring manufacturer.
• The brush bar on the appliance may damage some carpet types. If you are
unsure, turn 'OFF' the brush bar.
