Common Issues with the Ford Kuga's Transmission

I've been experiencing some trouble with my Ford Kuga's transmission lately. It seems to shift gears inconsistently and there's a noticeable lag when accelerating. What could be causing this issue?

Hi Amy, it sounds like your transmission may be failing. This is a common issue with Ford Kugas, especially those from the 2012-2015 models. The first thing you should do is check your transmission fluid levels. Low levels can cause these symptoms and it's an easy fix.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Kuga and it turned out to be a faulty solenoid. Have a mechanic check the codes to see if any solenoid issues are popping up. If so, replacing it should solve your problem.

I've had my Ford Kuga for over 10 years and have never experienced any transmission issues. Make sure you keep up with regular maintenance and avoid heavy hauling or towing with your vehicle.
