I've been considering purchasing a used Ford S-Max but I've heard some horror stories about mechanical issues. Can anyone offer advice or insight on what I should look out for when inspecting one? Thank you.
ReplyHi Sarah, I'm a mechanic and I've seen a lot of Ford S-Maxs come through my shop. The most common problem I've seen is with the transmission, particularly in the earlier models. Be sure to test drive the vehicle and pay attention to any unusual noises or shifts. It's also important to check the fluid levels and look for any signs of leaks.
Hi Sarah, I've had my Ford S-Max for a few years now and haven't had any major mechanical issues. However, I have heard of others experiencing problems with the power steering pump and the electrical system. Make sure to bring it to a trusted mechanic for a thorough inspection before making a purchase. Good luck!
