The combustion process produces dangerous chemicals like carbon monoxide, which increase air pollution. Your Ford's catalytic converter converts these toxic chemicals into harmless ones, reducing pollution by up to 99%. A converter can wear out or become damaged, and your car's emissions will rise. Your Ford dealer can repair or replace the converter for you, and these are some signs the converter is failing. Thick Black Smoke Black exhaust smoke is a highly visible sign of a problem, as it means the converter isn't working. The smoke has a foul, acrid smell due to the presence of unconverted combustion byproducts. There are several reasons for a converter failure. The most common causes are the converter has failed due to age or damage due to another engine problem. A converter has a long life of approximately ten years, after which it will gradually wear out. Engine problems like a high fuel-to-air ratio can lead to converter damage. A fuel-rich engine reduces combustion efficiency and prevents much of the fuel from igniting. Hot, unburnt fuel is dumped into the converter, which can overheat the converter and cause it to fail. We'll examine your converter and repair or replace it. more Your Engine Starts Then Dies When your engine starts, the combustion process begins. If your engine fails within seconds of starting, you could have a blocked converter. The fuel-air mixture in the cylinders is compressed, then ignited to create combustion. Once the cylinder contents have ignited, the waste products and gases enter the converter for conversion. Carbon buildup in the converter can block the exit from the converter into the exhaust system. If this happens, the combustion gases flow back into the engine and raise its internal pressure. Increasing gas pressure in the engine chokes off combustion and your engine will die. We can easily fix this problem by removing the converter and clearing the blockage before we reinstall it. Rattling Noises A converter uses heat, high pressure, and chemical reactions to convert engine gases. The inside of a converter is shaped like a honeycomb, as this design provides the largest surface area possible for quick and efficient gas conversion. A honeycomb is strong, but any damage to the structure can cause cracks. Heat and high pressure in the converter will cause cracks to expand, and honeycomb pieces can break off. Broken honeycomb pieces will move around in the converter, producing a rattling sound as they do so. Our technicians will examine your converter and replace it if it's damaged. A damaged converter increases toxic emissions and will lead to engine damage. Call us today at Coughlin Ford of Pataskala, and we'll fix the problem for you.

Driving with worn or damaged brakes is dangerous and can easily result in an accident. Fortunately, if you have a brake problem in Pataskala, OH, your Ford dealer can help you. We can test your braking system and repair any possible problem. We'd like you to know some warning signs that you may need a brake repair very soon. Screeching, Grinding, and Squealing Strange noises when you hit the brakes are never a good sign. Your brakes don't make any sound as they work, so any sound is a sign of potential trouble. Screeching noises are made by a worn brake pad that needs replacement. When your pads have worn down to 1/4" thick, they will screech as a warning that they need to be replaced. Grinding noises are more serious, as they mean your brake pads have completely worn down. The metal of the brake pads is gouging the surface of the rotors and producing this unnerving sound. Replacing the pads will cause screeching and grinding noises to disappear. Squealing noises are usually made by a rusted or jammed caliper trying to engage. We'll examine your brakes to fix this problem. more Brake Fluid Leak Brake fluid is essential for your braking system, as it provides the hydraulic power that allows the braking system to work. When you step on the brake pedal, the brake booster magnifies this pressure and forces the brake fluid into the hoses. The pressure this creates pushes the pins out of the brake calipers, and they clamp against the wheel rotors to slow and stop your wheels. A brake fluid leak reduces the pressure in the system, and low pressure makes braking slower and more difficult. The fluid can leak from several different places, including damaged hoses or brake lines. A leak is usually difficult to spot, as brake fluid is pale yellow and looks similar to cooking oil. The first sign you usually have of a leak is a slow response from your brakes. We'll test the system for leaks and repair them to fix this problem. Damaged Brake Booster As we saw above, the brake booster produces additional pressure to increase braking efficiency. Older cars didn't have a booster, and this meant more strain on your muscles to force the brakes to engage. The booster makes braking simpler, faster, and more efficient. The booster uses a vacuum to generate the required pressure to engage the brakes. If the vacuum is damaged or leaking, braking efficiency will be greatly reduced. Our technicians can test the booster and repair or replace it depending on the problem. If you're experiencing braking problems, call our service department right away at Coughlin Ford of Pataskala.

With both highway and off-road capabilities, the legendary Bronco has made a name for itself as being a versatile SUV with plenty of cabin comforts. The 2023 edition delivers the same rugged performance you'd expect from Ford, though with more powerful terrain-tackling features and impressive technology, as well.

Interior and Exterior For such a rugged vehicle, the 2023 Bronco has a surprisingly luxurious and comfortable interior, which offers power-adjustable heated seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, and a 60/40 split-folding seat in the back. Both hard-top and soft-top roofs are available, though the hard-top option has the advantage of being durable enough to pitch a tent on. There's also a slide-out tailgate that serves as both a work surface and a step for accessing cargo. Advanced Technology In addition to the vehicle's SYNC infotainment system, which combines navigation assistance, music, and other media on an available 12-inch display, there's plenty of other exciting technology on board. Off-Road Hero Switches puts everything you need at your fingertips, as you have a set of buttons directly on the dash that allows you to engage or disengage many of your off-road features, like Trail Turn Assist and both the front- and rear-locking differentials.
