I have a Ford S-Max and recently noticed some issues with the transmission. The gears seem to be shifting roughly and I've also experienced some slipping. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?
ReplyIt sounds like your transmission may be low on fluid or may need a fluid change. This is a common issue with the Ford S-Max and can cause rough shifting and slipping. I would recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic or dealership to have them check the fluid levels and possibly do a fluid change.
Another common issue with the Ford S-Max's transmission is a faulty pressure control solenoid. This can cause similar symptoms as low fluid levels and may also lead to the transmission overheating. I would recommend having a professional technician diagnose and replace the faulty solenoid if necessary.
If the issue is not related to fluid levels or the pressure control solenoid, it could be a problem with the transmission control module. This component controls the shifting of gears and can fail over time. I would advise getting the module tested and possibly replaced by a qualified technician.
