Is there a common issue with the Ford Galaxy's engine overheating?

I've noticed that after driving for a while, the temperature gauge on my Ford Galaxy starts to rise. Is this a common issue and is there any preventive maintenance to avoid it?

Yes, overheating in Ford Galaxys is a known issue. It's important to regularly check coolant levels and have the cooling system serviced to prevent this problem.

I had the same problem with my Ford Galaxy and it turned out to be a faulty thermostat. Replacing it fixed the issue for me. You should also check for any leaks in the cooling system.
