I have a Ford Galaxy with automatic transmission and I have been experiencing some issues lately. It jerks and slips gears when accelerating and I'm worried it might cause serious damage. What could be the problem and how should I address it?
ReplyHi Emma, based on my experience with Ford Galaxies, the most common issue with the automatic transmission is a faulty solenoid. It could also be due to low transmission fluid level. I highly recommend bringing your car to a reputable mechanic to have it checked and repaired if necessary.
Emma, I suggest checking the transmission fluid first and if it's below the recommended level, top it up and see if it improves the transmission's performance. If not, it could be a more serious problem such as a damaged transmission valve. In that case, bring it to a transmission specialist to have it diagnosed and fixed.
Hi there Emma, I have a Ford Galaxy too and I've experienced the same issues with my automatic transmission. After consulting with my trusted mechanic, they advised that it could be due to a clogged transmission filter. I had it replaced and my car runs smoothly now. Might be worth checking out.
