Yes, transmission issues—especially in older o r imported C-Class models—are fairly common. Issues like delayed shifts, jerky acceleration, o r limp mode can arise due to:

Dirty transmission fluid often neglected.

Valve body wear.

Software mismatch in swapped o r imported cars.

Recommendations:

Always service the transmission fluid ATF and filter every 40,000–60,000 km.

Avoid cheap scanning tools o r unskilled mechanics.

If buying used, scan the car for transmission fault codes.
