The better care you take of your Ford, the better care it will take of you. Routine preventative maintenance is the key to safe, smooth, cost-effective driving. Drivers should also learn how to identify signs of car trouble and respond quickly to have issues repaired early on. If you notice the following indications of wear and tear, head straight to your local Ford dealership to have it resolved. more You See Smoke or Steam Starting with one of the more urgent warning signs, steam emerging from under the hood usually indicates overheating, which could rapidly destroy the engine if you continue to drive. Any smoke in the exhaust may also indicate a need for engine maintenance. This might be caused by misfiring spark plugs or motor oil leaking into the cylinders. You Hear Strange Sounds Always trust your ears when it comes to your car. Grinding sounds could point to an issue with the gearbox, brakes, or engine. Thumping, knocking, ticking, or banging could mean the engine is under-lubricated or overheating. Squealing could mean worn-out brake pads. Any other odd noise shouldn't be ignored. You Feel Excess Vibrations When the tires, wheels, or suspension are overly worn, you'll often feel excessive vibrations. Worn-out brake rotors can also cause rhythmic vibrations in the brake pedal. You Notice Puddles of Fluid The various essential fluids that your car relies on should never be allowed to leak. If you notice any kind of puddling oil or fluid under your car, check the motor oil, coolant, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and other fluids, and have the leak repaired at once. You Smell Something Unpleasant Rotten egg smells might indicate a faulty catalytic converter or a leaking battery. Burning smells might emit from the transmission or engine when the fluid or oil is low or leaking. You Can't Accelerate Quickly If your engine doesn't deliver its usual power and responsiveness, have it inspected. The spark plugs might be misfiring as a result of an underlying fault. You're Stopping More Often for Gas Most engine or exhaust-related issues reduce fuel efficiency. Problems with the wheels and tires might also cause you to stop for gas more frequently. You Struggle To Start Your Car Slow starts in the morning typically indicate a drained or worn-out battery. A bad starter or other malfunctions in the electrical system could also be to blame. You Can't Stop Your Car Promptly Needless to say, never drive if your brakes don't feel as firm as usual. Leaking brake fluid or overheating brake pads can sometimes cause a loss of brake force. You See a Dashboard Warning Light Your Ford will detect and warn you of the aforementioned issues and any other attention your car requires. If you notice the check engine light, oil pressure light, battery light, tire pressure light, or any other warning light appear, ask a technician to inspect and service the relevant component. Schedule Maintenance at Your Local Ford Dealership If you book routine maintenance with us, your car will be kept in optimal condition at all times. This significantly reduces the chance that you'll need to notice and respond to the above signs of car trouble while out on the road.
