What are some common issues with the Ford S-Max's transmission and how can they be prevented?

I recently purchased a Ford S-Max and I've noticed some strange vibrations and delays when shifting gears. I'm concerned about potential transmission problems and I want to know how to avoid them. Can anyone offer any advice?

Hi Samantha, it's always important to properly maintain your transmission to avoid potential issues. Make sure to regularly check the fluid levels and have it serviced according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule.

I've had some issues with my Ford S-Max's transmission as well. From my experience, avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration and make sure to use the correct transmission fluid.

I work at a Ford dealership and the most common cause of transmission problems we see in the S-Max is low transmission fluid. Keep an eye on the levels and top it up if needed.
