What is the most common issue with the Ford S-Max engine?

I recently purchased a 2018 Ford S-Max and have noticed some issues with the engine. It seems to be idling rough and sometimes there is a slight delay in acceleration. Could this be a common issue with the Ford S-Max engine? What steps should I take to fix it?

Hi Emily, the most common issue with the Ford S-Max engine is a faulty ignition coil. This can cause rough idling and a delay in acceleration. You should take your car to a certified mechanic to have it checked and replaced if necessary.

Emily, I've owned a Ford S-Max for several years and have experienced this issue before. The best solution is to clean the throttle body and replace the air filter. This should improve the engine's performance.

Hello Emily, it's important to regularly change the oil and oil filter in your Ford S-Max to prevent engine issues. I recommend doing this every 5,000-7,500 miles depending on your driving habits.
