What are the most common issues with the Ford S-Max transmission system?

I recently purchased a used Ford S-Max and have been experiencing some problems with the transmission. Sometimes it seems to shift harshly and other times it hesitates. Could this be a sign of a bigger issue or is this just a common problem with the S-Max? I want to make sure I catch any potential problems before they become more serious.

Based on my experience with the S-Max, transmission problems are unfortunately quite common. Some possible causes for these issues could be low transmission fluid levels, faulty solenoids, or even worn out gear synchronizers.

I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic test as soon as possible. It's better to address any potential issues early on before it becomes a bigger and more expensive problem.

In some cases, a simple transmission fluid flush and refill can solve the issue. Make sure to use the recommended fluid for your specific transmission model.
