I recently purchased a Ford Mondeo and I've noticed some hesitation and jerking when shifting gears. Is this a common issue with the transmission and what can I do to fix it?
ReplyBased on personal experience, it is a common issue with the Mondeo's transmission. My suggestion would be to take it to a certified Ford mechanic and have them check for any transmission error codes. Sometimes just getting the transmission fluid flushed and replaced can improve performance. Also, avoid hard acceleration and try to use a lower gear when going up steep hills.
I've been a Ford technician for over 10 years and I can say that the Mondeo's transmission is known for having issues. My advice would be to have the fluid and filter changed every 30,000 miles and make sure to use the correct type of transmission fluid. It also wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion if the issue persists.
As an automotive enthusiast, I've owned several Fords and I've also had issues with the Mondeo's transmission. My suggestion would be to get the transmission checked before it gets worse. Also, make sure to have regular maintenance done and don't ignore any warning signs such as strange noises or delayed shifting.
