3 Electrical Problems You Should Always Fix at Your Lincoln Dealer

Image via Bob Maxey Lincoln. Most of your car's systems depend on a constant and consistent supply of electricity. This means that electrical problems have a major impact on your Lincoln's performance. Depending on the problem, your Lincoln might not be able to start or could shut down soon after starting up. Fortunately, Your Lincoln dealer can prevent these nightmare situations by fixing the problem. These are some electrical issues that we can fix. Alternator Problems Every driver knows about the battery, but the alternator doesn't get the same level of publicity. The alternator's job is to produce electricity for your car's systems. When your engine is running, the alternator provides all the electrical power for your car and recharges your battery. It's a relatively simple and hardy component and has an average lifespan of eight years. As time passes, the alternator's components gradually wear out, and this causes the alternator to produce less electricity. A healthy alternator should produce at least 14.5 volts under a full load. If your engine sensors detect a power output of 13.0 volts or less, your check battery light will illuminate, and random electrical glitches will appear. We'll examine your alternator and repair it or replace it if necessary. Battery Problems The battery has the important functions of supplying power to start your engine and maintain the electrical system when your engine isn't running. Despite its essential role in your engine, the battery has a relatively short life and will usually fail within three to five years. It normally fails as the chemicals that allow it to store and supply electricity gradually break down, which prevents the battery from storing electricity. A battery's life can also be reduced by extreme temperatures, corrosion, or a worn-out alternator. You'll usually see signs that a battery is weakening as the headlight and interior lights will become dimmer when under battery power. In addition, starting your engine will take longer, and the battery warning light will illuminate to warn of trouble. Our technicians will test your battery and replace it if it's failing. Starter Problems The starter motor in your engine causes the engine to crank, which begins the combustion process that allows your engine to operate under its own power. The starter depends on an electrical charge from the battery to power it, and this charge uses a large portion of your battery's reserves. The most common cause of failure is a damaged starter solenoid. The solenoid receives the electrical power from the battery and transfers it to the starter. If the solenoid fails, the starter motor won't work, and your engine won't crank and start. We can easily fix this by replacing the damaged solenoid. If there's a problem in your electrical system, contact the experts at Bob Maxey Lincoln of Detroit, MI, for a speedy and successful repair.

Car Safety Features You'll Find on Today's Lincoln Vehicles

Image via Bob Lincoln Maxey. Lincoln's impressive suite of advanced safety features, named Lincoln Co-Pilot 360, has been applauded by the IIHS for its effectiveness in helping drivers avoid collisions. The following are five excellent car safety features included in the suite. If you want to know more about them, you can always request a test drive at your local Lincoln dealership. Pre-Collision Assist As experienced a driver as you may be, you'd be hard-pressed to match Lincoln's reaction times with the Pre-Collision Assist feature. Using sophisticated radar and camera technology, your Lincoln continually scans the road ahead, searching for potential collision threats. If a pedestrian or another vehicle poses a threat, you'll receive a clear collision warning. With Automatic Emergency Braking, your car can also apply the brakes as required to avoid or at least mitigate the severity of a collision. Blind-Spot Information System The blind spots on either side of a vehicle have always created a safety risk to drivers. With the Blind-Spot Information System, your Lincoln can detect and alert you to any vehicles coming into your blind spots, dramatically reducing this danger. While reversing out of a driveway or parking spot, the Cross-Traffic Alert feature uses similar technology to let you know if any unseen vehicles are approaching from either direction. Rear View Camera Backing up has never been easier with the Rear View Camera, which allows you to see everything behind you clearly on your instrument panel's central display screen. You also have helpful audio cues and visual guidelines to help you maneuver precisely while reversing. Lane-Keeping System While driving at high speeds, accidentally drifting into a neighboring lane can lead to a serious crash. With the Lane-Keeping System, your Lincoln monitors the lane and road markers at all times. It can notice if you begin to drift toward another lane and provide a clear warning. The system can even give you a little extra steering torque to help you get back into the center of your lane. Auto High-Beam Headlamps At night, sometimes drivers forget to dim their headlights when another vehicle is approaching. This creates the risk of temporarily blinding the other driver. With Auto High-Beam Headlamps, your car detects oncoming vehicles and can turn your high-beam headlamps on and off at just the right moment. It can even detect rain, snow, or fog and turn off the high beams to ensure you have a clearer view of the road ahead. Find Out More at Your Local Lincoln Dealership In addition to these excellent safety systems, there are many more features, both as standard and optional, that keep Lincoln drivers safe on the road. If you ask for a tour and test drive at your local dealership, the staff will be happy to show you how each feature works. Visit Bob Maxey Lincoln today to find out more about your favorite Lincoln model. We've been providing the region's most discerning drivers with top-notch luxury vehicles and personalized customer service since 1972.

7 Signs Your Lincoln Has a Faulty Ignition Coil

Image via Bob Maxey Lincoln. The role of the ignition coil is to convert the battery's low electric current into the high voltage required to ignite the air and fuel mixture to start the engine. A faulty ignition coil can cause various vehicle issues, from increased fuel consumption and backfires to hard starts. If your Lincoln shows any of the signs below, rely on expert repairs from the certified technicians at your Lincoln dealer. 1. The Check Engine Light Is On If there's a problem with your ignition coil, your car's computer will detect it and trigger the check engine light. It's crucial to take this warning seriously and have your Lincoln technician address the issue as soon as possible to prevent any further damage. 2. Your Car Consumes More Fuel If the ignition coil fails to generate enough electricity for the spark plugs, they can spark inconsistently or not at all. This results in lower power output, causing the engine to burn more fuel than necessary and you to spend more money on gas. 3. Your Car Is Slow A malfunctioning ignition coil can lead to performance issues. The failing coil can cause inconsistent sparks, leading to the incomplete combustion of air and fuel, resulting in lower engine power when you step on the gas pedal. 4. Your Car Jerks, Shakes, and Idles Roughly A bad ignition coil can cause your car to vibrate. You may also feel your car shaking and jerking when you accelerate in a failed attempt to increase your speed. 5. You Hear Sputtering Noises From Under the Hood If your car makes sputtering noises under the hood when you turn the key in the ignition, it could be a sign of a bad ignition coil. The failing coil may cause a cylinder not to fire properly during the ignition process. 6. Your Car Misfires When one of your engine's cylinders fails to ignite incorrectly or not at all, it may lead to misfiring, which could cause significant damage to various components. When your car misfires, take action immediately and schedule an appointment to prevent irreversible damage under the hood. 7. You Struggle To Start Your Car When it's hard to get your car going, or it stalls frequently, there could be many different issues causing the problem. A failing ignition coil not supplying the necessary electric current to the spark plugs could be the culprit. If you experience any of the above signs of a failing ignition coil, don't wait until the problem causes more damage and expensive repairs. Call Bob Maxey Lincoln now to schedule an appointment, and the certified Lincoln technicians will ensure your vehicle performs at its best.

Does Your Lincoln Need a New Car Battery?

Image via Bob Maxey Lincoln. If you've ever been in a situation where your car battery died and left you stranded, you know how frustrating and inconvenient it can be. To avoid finding yourself in this predicament, it's essential to be aware of the warning signs that indicate your car battery is on its last legs. These tips from your Lincoln dealer will help you determine whether or not you need a new car battery. The Engine Is Slow to Turn On One of the primary signs of a dying car battery is when your engine takes longer than usual to start. When you turn the key, the battery provides energy to the start and ignition system, which then turns a flywheel to start the engine. If your battery is weak or dying, it may struggle to provide enough power to turn the engine over promptly. If you notice that your engine takes a few seconds to start, it's a clear indication that your battery is nearing the end of its lifespan. It's crucial to address this issue promptly to avoid being stranded with a dead battery. Dashboard Lights Flicker Your car battery not only powers the engine but also supplies energy to other electrical components, including the dashboard lights. If you notice that your dashboard lights are flickering, it is likely a sign of a dying battery. The flickering lights indicate that the battery is struggling to provide a consistent power supply to the electrical system. When you observe this symptom, it's essential to purchase a new battery as soon as possible. Ignoring the issue can lead to a completely dead battery, leaving you in need of a jump start. However, it's worth noting that dimmed dashboard lights can also be caused by other factors, such as a faulty light dimmer or alternator issues. Slow Window Roll-Up or Roll-Down Another subtle sign that your car battery is on its way out is when your power windows roll up or down slowly. While slow window operation can be caused by other factors, such as a faulty motor or track guides, it is often indicative of a weak battery. When the battery lacks sufficient power, it may struggle to operate the electric window motors smoothly. If you notice that your windows are unusually slow to roll up or down, especially in conjunction with other signs on this list, it's advisable to replace your battery. However, if the slow window operation is the only symptom you're experiencing, it may be worth investigating other potential causes before replacing the battery. If you're experiencing any of these issues, stop by Bob Maxey Lincoln and let our friendly staff assess what is needed to fix the issue.

8 Car Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Lincoln in Great Shape

Image via Bob Maxey Lincoln. If you visit your local Lincoln dealer for the following routine maintenance tasks, you'll reap many rewards as a driver. Not only does regular car maintenance keep your vehicle in tip-top shape for longer, but it also reduces the cost of serious repair jobs over the lifespan of your car. Renew Your Brake Pads Brakes are one of the most dangerous car parts to let fall into a state of disrepair. Brake pads, in particular, need regular replacements to maintain maximum friction and stopping power. Replace Your Air Filters Both the cabin and engine air filters serve important functions in protecting you and your engine from airborne pollutants. Check both filters often and replace them once they begin to show signs of dirtying or clogging. Keep Your Oil Fresh Motor oil needs to be fresh enough to fully lubricate the engine and keep friction and heat under control. Most drivers should have their motor oil changed at least twice per year, more frequently if they drive in more severe conditions than usual. Examine Your Tires Tire air pressure should be checked at least once per month and adjusted to optimal levels. While checking your tire pressure, it's also advisable to examine your tires closely for signs of cuts, blisters, cracks, and worn-out treads. Rotate Your Tires As tires wear down unevenly over time, it's important to have your tires rotated frequently. This reduces the risk of tire failure and also helps each set of tires last longer. Refresh Fluids and Coolant All the fluids in your car should be regularly checked and topped up or flushed and replaced. This includes your transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering fluid, windshield wiper fluid, and coolant. Keep Your Battery Clean As time passes, the terminals at the top of car batteries are susceptible to corrosion. Regularly checking and cleaning the terminals will postpone the day when your battery needs to go. Replace Your Windshield Wipers Windshield wipers may seem a relatively unimportant car part, but they play a vital and sometimes lifesaving role. It's generally recommended to change windshield wipers once or twice a year to keep your visibility clear in poor weather. Schedule Routine Maintenance at Your Local Lincoln Dealer If you arrange a suitable routine servicing schedule at your local dealership, you'll find it easier to stay on top of the many essential maintenance tasks that any vehicle requires. The technicians can take your regular driving habits and conditions into consideration when determining the optimal schedule for your needs. Visit Bob Maxey Lincoln today to have your car checked and serviced by qualified technicians. We're a community-focused local dealership that's been diligently serving and treating our customers like family since 1982.

Do You Need New Tires From Your Lincoln Dealer?

Image via Bob Maxey Lincoln. Your Lincoln is the embodiment of luxury, performance, and safety. And while every component plays a significant role in ensuring a smooth drive, there's just one part that directly touches the road: your tires. Determining when it's time to get new tires for your vehicle is a decision every car owner eventually has to make. Here's a few tips from your Lincoln dealer to help you decide if it's time. Tread Depth Over time, as the tire wears out, the tread depth decreases. You can use a penny to check this. Insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head facing down. If you can see the top of Lincoln's head, the tread is too shallow, indicating that it's time to replace your tires. Visible Damage Check your tires for any visible signs of damage. This can include cracks, cuts, punctures, or bulges on the tire's surface. Even if they appear minor, these types of damage can be hazardous as they compromise the structural integrity of the tire, putting you at risk of a blowout. Uneven Wear Tires don't always wear out evenly. Uneven wear patterns, such as feathering or scalloping, can indicate issues like misalignment, tire imbalance, or suspension problems. If you notice uneven wear, it's crucial to address it immediately, as it can cause premature tire degradation. Vibration While Driving If you've started to feel excessive vibration when driving, especially on smooth roads, it might indicate tire problems. These vibrations can arise from an unbalanced tire, misalignment, or internal damage to the tire. Age of the Tires Even if your tires look to be in good shape, age can still be a factor in their performance. Rubber degrades over time, and old tires might not offer the same grip, especially in challenging weather conditions. Generally, it's recommended to consider replacing tires that are 6 to 10 years old, regardless of wear. Loss of Tire Pressure While it's natural for tires to lose some pressure over time, a consistent drop can be a red flag. If you find yourself needing to refill the air more often than usual, there might be a slow leak, which necessitates a closer examination. Handling Issues When tires wear out, they might not grip the road as effectively, leading to issues in handling. If you notice your Lincoln struggling around corners, slipping in wet conditions, or taking longer to brake, it might be pointing towards tire wear. Recognizing the signs and taking timely action can not only ensure your Lincoln operates at its peak performance but also safeguards you, your loved ones, and other road users. If you identify any of the signs we've mentioned, or if you're uncertain about the condition of your tires, contact us at Bob Maxey Lincoln right away.
