Why is my Ford S-Max experiencing issues with its transmission?

I recently purchased a used Ford S-Max and have noticed some problems with the transmission. Whenever I shift from park to drive, there is a delay and a jolting sensation. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It sounds like your car may have a faulty transmission control module. I would recommend taking it to a certified Ford mechanic for a diagnostic test to confirm the issue. If it is the transmission control module, it will need to be replaced.

I experienced the same issue with my Ford S-Max and it turned out to be a problem with the transmission fluid. Get it checked and flushed if necessary.

I had a similar problem with my Ford Focus and it was due to a faulty transmission sensor. Get it checked and replaced if necessary.
