What is the most common brake problem in Ford S-Max?

I've been experiencing difficulties with my brake system in my Ford S-Max. The brake pedal often feels spongy and sometimes even goes all the way to the floor. I'm worried that this might be a sign of a more serious problem. What are some common brake issues in Ford S-Max and how can I prevent them?

Hi Emily, it's best to have your brake system checked by a professional mechanic as soon as possible. More often than not, a spongy or soft brake pedal is caused by air in the brake lines or worn brake pads. Make sure to schedule regular maintenance and replace your brake pads when necessary to avoid any major brake problems.

I've had similar issues with my Ford S-Max and it turned out to be a faulty master cylinder. It's important to have this component checked as well, as it is responsible for distributing hydraulic pressure to the brakes. If it's not working properly, it can result in a spongy or unresponsive brake pedal.

Another common brake problem in Ford S-Max is a worn brake rotor. This can be caused by driving with worn brake pads or neglecting regular maintenance. It's important to have your brake rotors checked and possibly replaced to ensure proper braking performance.
