Hi,
I bought a new S-max through a non-FORD main dealer on Friday
The back tail light was broken on receipt but they said they would replace it. I accepted this and took the car.
On driving the car black black smoke came from the exhaust to the extent that it was dangerous to be driving behind me. I contacted the garage and the Ford dealer from where it came and I was told to contact Ford direct that it was neither of their responsibility. I rang FORD less than 24 hours after getting the car with 100km on teh clock and they picked the car up using RAC to bring it back to the main Ford dealer. It seems that there is a burst pipe in the engine and it will have to be stripped back to fix it making it a very much 2nd hand car.
Any ideas on the direction I should take on this as I do not want the car back given it's initial problems
