If your Ford develops an engine problem, it’s important to have the problem repaired by an expert. Your Englewood, FL Ford dealer has the trained technicians and technology to fix any engine problems. These are a few possible issues that we can repair.

Damaged Engine Mount

Your engine must be securely attached, but it must also have the ability to flex slightly to prevent damage. To solve this, the engine is attached to the body via two water-filled rubber engine mounts. The water dissipates energy produced by the movement of the car and the engine. The rubber mounts prevent metal-on-metal contact between the engine and the body.

Over time, the heat inside the engine causes the rubber mounts to lose their elasticity. Cracks can form in the rubber, and eventually, water will leak out. A damaged mount is obvious, as you’ll hear banging and clashing sounds from the engine, and cornering will become difficult. We can solve this problem by removing your engine and replacing the damaged mounts.

1. Fluid Leaks

Most transmission issues start with fluid leaks, either due to a damaged transmission line or an internal problem. If you notice a red, pink, or brown liquid leaking from your car, the fluid is likely coming from your transmission. You should get it checked by an expert as soon as possible.

You might be looking at broken seals, gaskets, or even something as serious as a cracked transmission case. If left untreated, the fluid can run dry and cause overheating in your transmission.
