When tires become irregular in wear patterns, your car's traction and handling will diminish. Unless this problem is quickly remedied at your local Ford dealership, the tires will wear down faster and those undergoing more pressure might even skid or blow out on the road. Routine tire rotations are the best way to even out uneven tread wear. It's easy to schedule rotations at your local tire service center, Silver Spring; let's consider how frequently to do so. Twice a Year Is a Good Rule of Thumb Most drivers have their tires rotated every six months. This process evens out the wear patterns by swapping the tires around. Certain positions on the car tend to put extra strain on the tire, which causes uneven wear to develop. The exact pattern in which your tires should be rotated depends on whether the car is rear-wheel, fore-wheel, or all-wheel drive, among other factors. more Ask at Your Local Ford Dealership Not all vehicles and driving habits are precisely alike, so the optimal interval for your rotations might be more than twice a year. If you pay us a visit, our technicians can examine the wear patterns on your tires and ascertain how frequently you should have them rotated. Common Causes of Uneven Tire Wear Any imperfection in wheel alignment or air pressure can exacerbate uneven tread wear. This is one reason why it's so important to check the pressure of your tires monthly and the alignment of each wheel twice a year. Irregular tire wear also results from a naturally unbalanced distribution of pressure across any vehicle. Factors such as heavier front ends, weight shifting forward while braking and the wheels that turn when steering all have an impact. Watch Out for Signs of Irregular Tire Wear When your tires become uneven, they'll generate more road noise and vibrations than usual. Your gas mileage will gradually diminish. You may become less confident in how your car handles and grips the road on wet surfaces. If you examine the tires, you'll also see strange wear patterns such as cupping or inside edge wear. Schedule Tire Rotations at Your Tire Service Center, Silver Spring Routine rotations are just as crucial a service as oil changes and are even more directly related to road safety. Because of this, many drivers have their tires rotated and oil changed in the same visit. Our technicians can also take the opportunity to measure your wheel alignment and inspect your brakes. Visit Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD, today to have your tires inspected, rotated, aligned, or replaced. For over 15 years, we've been providing a go-to dealership and service center for drivers in Silver Spring and the surrounding region.

With four trim configurations available, tailoring this three-row SUV to suit your needs is easy. Before you buy a new Ford Explorer in Maryland, check out our model guide to identify the one that best fits your lifestyle. more 1. Active Although the most affordable Explorer, the Active doesn't scrimp on style. Chrome accents on the lower cladding and chrome bar detailing on the black mesh grille add a touch of class to the exterior. Ford's entry-level trim also boasts plenty of desirable features, such as automatic LED headlights, silver 18-inch aluminum wheels, heated power side mirrors, and a power liftgate. Inside, front passengers enjoy heated seats, with the driver's being 10-way power-adjustable. Comfortable captain's seats are installed in the second row. Two displays dominate the dashboard: a 12.3-inch color instrument panel and a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen. Wireless smartphone compatibility lets you sync your phone, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability has the potential to turn your Explorer into a 5G connectivity hub. 2. ST-Line The ST-Line receives a sporty makeover from signature running lights, 20-inch ebony machined wheels, and black front and rear skid plates. It also swaps the chrome exterior accents for darker detailing for a more refined look. The sporty touches continue inside, with the ebony-colored upholstery gaining red stitching. Front passengers now enjoy the convenience of a power-adjustable seat and those in the second row benefit from heated seats. A 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system elevates the sound quality inside the cabin. 3. ST Building on the ST-Line, the ST gains performance enhancements, including a sport-tuned suspension and upgraded front brakes. The quad chrome-tipped exhaust and 21-inch magnetite-painted wheels hint at this Explorer's capabilities. Inside, the seating is now adorned with Miko inserts and contrast stitching, and front passengers enjoy instant coolness from ventilated seats.

Various issues could signal problems in your Ford's emission system. Learn why strange smoke, odd exhaust smells, and other factors may be a sign that it's time to visit the service department at our Ford dealership for emission control service. 1. Check Engine Light The check engine light is often the first indicator of various engine issues. Using an OBD-II code reader, mechanics can determine if the check engine light came on due to an issue with the catalytic converter, an oxygen sensor, or the EVAP system. more 2. Failed Emission A failed emission test may be the clearest indicator that there's an issue in the emission system. Common causes of a failed emission test are similar to what triggers a check engine light, including malfunctioning oxygen sensors or a faulty catalytic converter. Issues with exhaust gas recirculation valves can also cause a failed emission test. 3. Rough Idling or Stalling If you notice that your Ford is idling rough or even stalling, it could be due to vacuum leaks. Like failed emission tests, a faulty EGR valve may also be the culprit in this scenario. 4. Poor Fuel Economy A variety of reasons could result in reduced fuel economy on your Ford, but a couple are directly related to the emission control system. If your Ford's oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor has started failing or failed completely, it can result in your engine creating an incorrect air/fuel mixture. This will lead to your engine burning more fuel than required. Other signs of a bad air/fuel mixture are black exhaust smoke, rough idling, and a loss of power. 5. Hissing or Ticking Noises Unfamiliar hissing or ticking noises can be hard to pinpoint, but if you've noticed other symptoms of a faulty emission system, start checking vacuum hoses for leaks. This includes cracked hoses within the evaporative emissions system. 6. Excessive Fuel Smell If you're noticing a strong gas or diesel smell in your Ford, it could be because of a bad charcoal canister or a failure within the EVAP system. However, excessive fuel odors aren't always due to malfunctions within the emission system. It can also be the result of damaged fuel lines or fuel injectors. Incomplete combustion can also cause an excessive fuel smell in your Ford. If you have a faulty spark plug, unburned fuel can end up in the tailpipe, causing the unwanted fuel odor. When to Visit Our Ford Dealership in Silver Spring, Maryland If you notice any of the signs mentioned above, and especially if you've noticed several of them, stop by our dealership as soon as it's convenient. Continuing to run your Ford with faults in the emission system could lead to additional problems resulting in costly repairs. To learn if your Ford's emission system needs repair, visit Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD.

Designed for both off-road adventures and urban explorations, the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport is a popular compact crossover SUV that separates itself from the competition. Reliable Performance Offering two fuel-savvy, turbocharged engines, the 2025 Bronco Sport lets you choose between either a 180-horsepower 1.5-liter engine or a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter, depending on which trim level you go with. Both engines pair with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, and while the 1.5-liter offers capable towing with its 2,200-pound maximum towing capacity when fully equipped, the 2.0-liter takes strength to the next level by pulling up to 2,700 pounds. more Off-Road Adaptability Four-wheel drive comes standard and pairs with a terrain management system called G.O.A.T. Modes that lets you toggle between different performance modes with the turn of a dial for tackling different driving conditions.

A Tech-Laden Cabin Inside this edition's cabin, power windows and a 60/40 split-folding bench seat are standard, as is electronic automatic climate control, with lower trims featuring a single-zone system and select upper trims coming with a dual-zone one. Select trims also have heated front seats and under-seat storage area, and there's plenty of convenient technology to enhance drives for everyone, including the SYNC 4 infotainment system, multiple 12-volt outlets and USB ports for personal devices, and a 4G LTE in-vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot. Designed for Thrills Providing more headroom inside while also giving you a sturdy 150-pound-rated surface for holding cargo, the vehicle's standard safari-style roof is sure to be appreciated. When encountering tough weather conditions, the side mirrors have heated glass, LED fog lamps are available, and select trims come with rain-adaptive wipers. As for style, you'll find plenty of it in the many environment-based paint color options offered, with highlights like Desert Sand, Velocity Blue Metallic, and Eruption Green Metallic. Sophisticated Safety Few SUVs in this class come close to offering as many standard high-tech driver-assist features as this one, like its Adaptive Cruise Control system, which comes with Lane Centering, Stop-and-Go, and Predictive Assist technology. The included Lane-Keeping System teams with Road Edge Detection to help you stay centered in your lane, and the Pre-Collision Assist system, also standard, comes with Automatic Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Brake Support, and Forward Collision Warning.

The check engine light comes on when sensors detect something that affects engine performance. As time passes, parts wear due to age or damage, leading to engine problems and potentially serious damage. As your Ford dealer in Silver Spring, MD, we'd like you to know some reasons you need to visit us for Ford maintenance. Ford Maintenance: Possible Reasons the Check Engine Light Comes On Blocked Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter is a vital part of the exhaust system. Combustion produces numerous dangerous, toxic gases, and the converter changes these gases into harmless ones before they exit the tailpipe. The conversion process uses immense pressure, chemical reactions, and intense heat, producing carbon as a byproduct. Carbon can build up inside the converter and block the exit to the exhaust system. A blockage forces the gases back into the engine. Their arrival increases pressure inside the engine, which can cause it to shut down without warning. A blocked converter can also cause your engine to fail within seconds of starting. We'll clear the blockage to fix this issue. more Worn Spark Plugs A spark plug screws into each engine cylinder and provides the ignition source for the cylinder contents. Air and fuel mix in a precise ratio in the intake manifold and are drawn into the cylinders. The cylinders close, and the pistons move upward at high speed to compress the fuel-air mixture. Once the mixture is sufficiently compressed, a spark plug ignites it to produce compression. Spark plugs wear out over time and can be damaged by issues like worn ignition coils or a fuel-rich engine. A damaged spark plug won't ignite its cylinder contents successfully, causing a misfire. Engine sensors will detect the misfire and its cause and inform your computer, causing the engine light to come on. We'll test the plugs and replace any damaged ones to fix this problem. Damaged Mass Airflow Sensor (MAS) The MAS monitors airflow into the engine and sends this information to the computer. The computer then determines how much fuel must be added to the mixture for successful combustion. A MAS can be damaged by an oil leak, water, or dirt, and it can also wear out over time. A worn or damaged MAS prevents the computer from accurately calculating how much air is in the engine. Without information from the MAS, your computer has to guess. If too much air is added, the fuel-air mixture will be lean, causing rough idling, reduced acceleration, and decreased engine power. If insufficient air is added, the mixture becomes fuel-rich, causing misfiring, damage to the spark plugs, and increased fuel usage. All these issues will trigger the engine light. We'll repair or replace the MAS, and your engine will work normally. Contact our service department today at Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD.

The cabin air filter in a vehicle keeps pollen, debris, and dirt out of your vehicle's cabin. It also keeps pollutants at bay, making the air in your Ford safe and clean. You need to get this filter replaced at your Ford dealership once or twice a year to make sure you always have a clean and functional filter in the vehicle. 1. The Cabin Smells Bad If your air filter is clogged, then you may smell something musty or moldy in your cabin. The smell may seem like it's coming from the vents, and it'll probably get worse when the heat is turned on. more 2. The Windows Stay Fogged Up The windows and windshields in a vehicle will fog up if there are differences in humidity and temperature outside and inside the vehicle. Vehicles need strong airflow from the blower motor to clear fogged-up windows and windshields. If the cabin filter is clogged, then the airflow might not be strong enough to clear the fog. 3. The HVAC Is Slow Your vehicle's HVAC (climate control) may seem like it's broken when the air filter is clogged, as there's not enough airflow to let it heat up or cool down your vehicle quickly. The problem should go away as soon as the filter is replaced. 4. The Cabin Is Dusty Clogged filters can't catch dust and debris effectively. More of it will get into your cabin, making the cabin look dusty and dirtier overall. If you're having to wipe down the dashboard and other surfaces more frequently, then you might need a new air filter. 5. The Vents Are Noisy Your vehicle's air vents will start getting noisy if your air filter is clogged. Usually, hearing a whistling noise coming from the vents tells you there's something large stuck in the air filter. It could be something like litter or a leaf. This piece of debris will flatter as air comes through the fence, creating that tell-tale noise that means it's time for a new filter. 6. The Cabin Contains Allergens and Pollutants If you have any allergies or your breathing is sensitive in any other way, then you may begin coughing, sneezing, or experiencing your eyes watering while you're driving. You need to get the filter replaced ASAP if these things are happening, because it's not just allergens like pollen that can get into the cabin when the filter is clogged. Filters have a layer designed to block exhaust fumes, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide, which are all very harmful. Whether you need a simple filter replacement or a substantial repair, come to Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD. You can easily schedule service on our website at any time.

Motor oil is vital for the health of your car's engine. The type and quality of oil you choose will impact the performance and longevity of your Ford. To help you understand the difference between conventional and synthetic motor oil, here's a breakdown of both options plus guidance on how to decide what to use when next having an oil change service at your local Ford dealership. What Does Motor Oil Do? Motor oil serves a variety of functions. Primarily, it lubricates the many moving parts inside the engine, preventing a buildup of friction and heat that could rapidly lead to a breakdown. The oil also cleans metal fragments, dirt, and other debris away from the various internal components, sweeping contaminants along to the oil filter, which needs to be frequently replaced. Motor oil can also combat rust and corrosion. more When To Use Synthetic Motor Oil Synthetic oil is highly refined for fewer impurities and better, longer-lasting lubrication than conventional oil. During the refinement process, synthetic oil is also imbued with more additives, such as anti-oxidizers, cleansers, and anti-gumming agents. All in all, it's vastly superior to conventional oil in every way, and typically enjoys more than double the lifespan, saving you on the cost of oil changes each year. Almost all modern Ford vehicles should use synthetic motor oil because it protects the engine better from harm. Synthetic oil prevents clogging and corrosion far better and is also more resistant to changes in temperature, protecting your engine better during winter. When To Use Conventional Motor Oil Conventional oil is derived from crude oil and refined to lubricate automotive engines well. Additives are also included in conventional oil, but not nearly to the same extent as synthetic motor oil, which has a more refined molecular structure allowing for more precise formulation. As conventional oil can't compete with synthetic oil in terms of performance, its only advantage is considered to be price. However, when using synthetic oil, you need less frequent oil changes (two per year rather than four for most drivers) and will usually experience less engine trouble down the road. Your engine and car are also likely to last longer. These factors tend to even out the cost difference. But if you have an older Ford model with a simpler engine design and you don't drive it much, conventional oil might be a reasonable cost-effective option. Book Routine Oil Change Services at Your Ford Dealership Allow us to help determine the ideal motor oil for your car. When you schedule routine oil changes with us, our technicians can ensure that your engine is always running smoothly with the best oil possible. Visit Koons Ford Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD, today to have your oil refreshed by courteous, efficient professionals. We offer great vehicles, deals, financing, car maintenance, and customer service.
