5 Engine Problems You Should Always Repair at Your Eveleth Ford Dealer

1. The Engine Overheats

If your engine overheats even once, then you should get it checked out. Various problems can cause this overheating issue. You may have a problem with your cooling system. Clogged hoses or broken spark plugs may also be the culprit. Get the problem dealt with as soon as possible, as an overheating engine can severely damage the engine’s components.

2. The Vehicle Won’t Start

If your vehicle won’t start, then it’s a good idea to get it checked out. Some drivers may feel like the car is fine if it can be jumpstarted and it isn’t showing any other signs that there’s a problem. However, waiting too long to get the engine checked out can lead to an underlying issue getting worse. Visit the dealer, so the technicians can check your engine and battery for problems.

3. The Engine Stalls

Your engine stalling is a major sign there’s something wrong. When your car suddenly stalls it can put you and everybody else on the road in danger, so it’s an issue you don’t want to happen more than once. Head to the dealer as soon as possible to get the engine checked.

4. The Oil Level Is Dropping Rapidly

Sometimes a rapidly dropping oil level indicates an oil leak. Other times, it’s because the engine is consuming too much oil, signaling a problem with one of your engine’s components. Damaged piston rings or leaking gas valves can lead to an overconsumption of oil by your engine.

Check your oil level regularly, and if it starts dropping faster than usual, then head to the dealer. You don’t want to become too low on oil while you’re driving, as this can damage your engine.

5. The Parts Need Replacing

If you’ve been to a general mechanic and found out a component in your engine needs replacing, then it’s time to go to the dealer for the replacement. Many general mechanics used generic parts, as the mechanic can use these parts in vehicles from various automakers. However, OEM parts are better for your vehicle. Dealership technicians will only use OEM parts, and the technicians can easily replace any components in your vehicle that need replacing.
