I am considering buying a used Ford Focus and want to know on average how long the transmission lasts. Should I be worried about expensive repairs in the near future? Any tips for prolonging the life of my Ford Focus transmission?
ReplyHi Rachel, great question! On average, a Ford Focus transmission can last anywhere from 100,000 to 150,000 miles. However, this can vary depending on how well the car has been maintained and the driving habits of the previous owner. It's always a good idea to get a pre-purchase inspection to check the overall condition of the car. As for prolonging the life of the transmission, regular fluid changes and avoiding aggressive driving can help. If you do end up needing a repair, make sure to use a reputable mechanic who specializes in Ford vehicles.
Hello Rachel, as a certified Ford technician, I can tell you that the average lifespan of a Ford Focus transmission is around 120,000 miles. However, it's important to keep up with regular maintenance and address any issues (such as leaking fluid or unusual noises) right away to avoid costly repairs in the future. You can also get the transmission flushed every 30,000 miles to help extend its lifespan. Hope this helps!
