Signs You Need Brake Repair from Your Lincoln Dealer

The braking system of your Lincoln is a fundamental safety feature, and to ensure you and your passengers stay safe, it's vital to recognize the signs that your Lincoln may need a brake repair. Make sure you're familiar with common signs of brake problems, so you know when to head to the Lincoln dealer for proactive help that will keep little issues from becoming big problems. more Unusual Sounds Squealing or screeching noises often indicate worn brake pads, and this is the most common sign you'll have. A grinding sound might suggest the brake pads are completely worn down, potentially damaging the brake rotors. Sometimes squealing is just due to dirty brake pads from driving in grimy conditions, especially if you know you had the brake pads replaced recently. A quick cleaning of the brakes by your dealer can fix things up: a cheap fix. But brakes are so important, it's always worth checking out. Vibrations or Pulsations If you feel a vibration or pulsation in the brake pedal when you apply the brakes, it may suggest an issue with the brake system. Warped rotors, often caused by severe or prolonged braking, can lead to these symptoms. Brake Warning Light You have a brake warning light on the dashboard, and if it illuminates, it's a clear signal that your vehicle's braking system needs to be inspected. The issue could be as simple as low brake fluid or as serious as a failure in the brake's hydraulic system. Reduced Responsiveness or Brake Fade If your Lincoln's brakes are less responsive than usual, or if the pedal "sinks" toward the floor, this could indicate a brake fluid leak. Brake fade, a reduction in braking power after repeated heavy braking, could also suggest your vehicle needs a brake system inspection. Car Pulls to One Side If your Lincoln pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, it could point to a brake problem. This issue could be due to worn brake linings, a stuck brake caliper, or brake fluid contamination. Burning Smell While Driving If you've been repeatedly hard braking and you notice a chemical smell, stop to let your brakes cool off. If the smell persists, get service. That smell is a sign of an overheated clutch or brakes. Overheating can decrease your brake's effectiveness and increase stopping distances. Spongy or Soft Brake Pedal A brake pedal that feels spongy or softer than usual could be an indication of an issue with the hydraulic system, such as air in the brake lines, an issue with the master cylinder, or a brake fluid leak. Experience top-notch service for your Lincoln at Asheville Lincoln. Our certified experts are ready to assist with your brake repair needs. If you've noticed any of these signs, contact us immediately to schedule your next service appointment. Image via Pixabay

5 Impressive Features of the 2023 Lincoln Navigator

Advanced Technology: From the latest infotainment system to advanced driver-assist features, the 2023 Lincoln Navigator is equipped with cutting-edge technology to enhance your driving experience. Stay connected, entertained, and safe on the road with all the tech features this SUV has to offer.

Enjoy features like heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and hands-free liftgate access that make your driving experience more enjoyable and hassle-free. Overall, the 2023 Lincoln Navigator is a top-of-the-line SUV with a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and technology. Continue reading below to learn more details about his model and it's features. 1. HANDS-FREE DRIVING Hands-free driving is by far one of the most impressive features you’ll find in modern vehicles. There are over 30,000 miles of North American roads that will allow you to make the most of this feature. This technology allows for a more relaxing highway driving experience by giving your arms a break. However, remember that you need to keep your eyes on the road and be ready to jump back into action at any time. You still need to be attentive when using convenience features such as hands-free driving or cruise control. 2. NOISE REDUCTION Driving isn’t just something that gets you from place to place. It can be a relaxing and fun experience, too. It's more enjoyable and calming when you block out loud noises from the wind or tires while driving. Sound-dampening technology in the Lincoln Navigator helps reduce excessive outside noise breaking into your cabin. Drivers with napping babies or people taking overnight trips with sleepy passengers will certainly benefit from the quieter cabin. 3. AMPLE CARGO SPACE If you need to transport a lot of cargo wherever you’re going, then you’ll have no problems doing that in the Lincoln Navigator. You can use the power function to lay the third row flat, allowing you to fit a lot more cargo into your vehicle if you’re not riding with a full cabin of passengers. 4. ADVANCED PASSENGER COMFORT Many vehicles offer massage functions and climate control in the front row, but fewer offer this for second-row passages. The Lincoln Navigator, however, provides more comfort to second-row passengers than many competitor vehicles, as massage functions and climate control are available to those in the second-row seats. 5. STOP AND GO CRUISE CONTROL Like with the hands-free driving feature, you’ll still need to pay close attention while using cruise control, but it’s another feature that can make your journeys more relaxing. Adaptive Cruise Control measures the speed of the vehicle ahead of you and adjusts your speed accordingly. If the car ahead stops, then the Stop and Go function stops your vehicle, too, and then starts driving again when the car ahead does. Why not book a test drive if you’d like to get behind the wheel and see these features for yourself? Visit us at Asheville Lincoln to see the new Navigator in person. Image via Lincoln

3 Signs You Need a Transmission Repair at Your Lincoln Dealer

The thought of a transmission repair is scary for many drivers. Transmission problems are generally seen as expensive and time-consuming. This perception isn't strictly true. Most transmission issues can usually be fixed inexpensively and easily, provided you visit your Lincoln dealer ASAP. Our experts can fix any problem and have your transmission as good as new in no time. These are some signs you need to visit us for a repair. more Burning Rubber Smell A foul, burning rubber smell from your car could mean a damaged alternator belt, but it can also be a sign of transmission trouble. Transmission fluid circulated through your transmission to cool the hot components and protect them from friction damage. This fluid also has the vital task of providing hydraulic power for the gears to shift. The fluid can easily operate in the hot conditions of the transmission as it is heat-resistant. Transmission fluid needs to be changed approximately every 30,000 miles. Older transmission fluid becomes thicker, which slows it down and prevents it from working as effectively as it should. Older fluid also loses its heat-resistant properties and can burn. Burning transmission fluid smells like burning rubber. If the fluid is burning, we can flush the transmission and refill it with clean fluid to fix the problem. Strange Noises Your Lincoln transmission is completely silent as it works. If you start to hear strange noises when your transmission shifts, you have a transmission problem. Depending on the cause of the problem, you might hear the noises continually or only at certain speeds or gears. If the noises only occur in the third gear, for example, this would usually point to damage to these gears. The torque converter connects the engine to the transmission and is responsible for transferring energy from the engine to the transmission. A damaged torque converter will produce harsh grinding noises. It's also very possible the noises could be caused by a lack of transmission fluid. We examine your transmission and fix the problem. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Fluid Leak As we've seen, transmission fluid is essential for your transmission. The fluid is pumped through the transmission at high speed, and this means that a tiny crack or hole in the transmission can lead to a rapid loss of fluid. The most common source of fluid leaks is a worn or damaged transmission pan gasket. This gasket fits into the transmission pan underneath the transmission and allows the fluid to be drained when necessary. Transmission fluid is bright red when it's new and slowly turns a darker red. If you spot a leak, we advise calling us ASAP so we can find and seal the leak to prevent any transmission damage. If you have a transmission problem, call our service department right away at Asheville Lincoln. Image via Pixabay

Does Your Lincoln Need a Brake Repair?

As with any component of a Lincoln vehicle, the brakes are made to last. But wear and tear can eventually take its toll on even the toughest of brakes. If you notice the following indications of trouble, visit your nearest Lincoln dealer right away for brake repair. more Squeaking Brake Pads Squeaking sounds from the brakes can be something harmless, like a little water or dust on the brake pads. But if you hear a persistent squeaking sound every time you press the brake pedal, one or more of your brake pads may need to be replaced. Brake pads bear the brunt of the work whenever you brake. By clamping onto the rotors, the brake pads generate friction to slow or stop your car. Each time they do so, the upper friction layer of the pads wears down a little more. When the friction layer is almost gone, a tiny metal tab is uncovered, which creates the squeaking sound. Vibrating Rotor Discs Rotor discs last a good deal longer than brake pads, but rotors can wear thin over time. When a rotor is on its last legs, it may begin to warp slightly out of shape, which results in vibrations that you might feel through the brake pedal. Overheating through excessive continuous use can also cause damage to rotors. If your rotors overheat, they can become scored by the brake pads or even coated in melted brake pad resin. Any such damage will also cause vibrations. Leaking Brake Fluid Brake fluid maintains hydraulic pressure inside the brake lines that send stopping signals to each caliper. If this fluid ever leaks out from a brake line, that hydraulic force is lessened, which will result in a spongy sensation when you press the brake pedal. If you ever suspect a brake fluid leak, check under your car for a leaking oily, yellowy liquid. It's safest not to drive in a car with leaking brake fluid. Clattering Calipers The calipers clamp the brake pads onto the rotors at each wheel. Occasionally, a stop from the road may become trapped in a caliper, creating clattering or grinding sounds when you brake. If one of the pins or bolts comes loose, it will create a similar sound. How Your Local Lincoln Dealer Inspects Your Brakes A proper brake examination really requires a trip to your local dealership because the car needs to be raised in order to remove the wheels. Firstly, the brake fluid will be checked and topped up if necessary. The fluid lines will all be examined. With the car raised, the wheels and calipers will be removed. Each brake pad, rotor, and other component will be inspected carefully. Any faulty parts will be replaced and finally, the brakes will be tested to ensure all is working well. Have your brakes checked and repaired today at Asheville Lincoln. We're a full-service dealership with a broad range of excellent vehicles and friendly, dedicated staff to help with your vehicle purchasing or repair needs. Image via Pixabay

3 Important Services You'll Find at Your Asheville, NC, Lincoln Dealership

Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your Lincoln in great shape. Components will wear out due to age and usage and need replacement. Other components can have their life extended by regular checks At your Asheville, NC, Lincoln dealership, we offer a wide variety of services for your car. These are a few of our services that will help your Lincoln stay in great shape. more Battery Testing A dead battery is the last thing any driver wants. When you push the start button, your engine should spring to life in seconds. Unfortunately, car batteries have a relatively short lifespan. On average, you will need a replacement battery every three to five years. Testing your battery regularly is the easiest way to prevent a suddenly dead battery. We'll remove your battery and hook it up to our computerized battery testing matching. The machine will subject your battery to a barrage of tests that can identify any potential problems or weaknesses it has. We recommend a battery check when your battery is three years old, followed by annual testing. If your battery is weak, we can install a new one for you while you wait. Brake Servicing When you hit the brakes on your Lincoln, it will come to an immediate stop. Over time, parts of the braking system can become worn or damaged, and your brakes will be less responsive than they should be. Well-serviced brakes will ensure your car will always stop exactly when you need to, and this can help prevent an accident. During a brake service, we check and test every part of your braking system. We test and replace your brake fluid, as new brake fluid is even more efficient at proving the necessary hydraulic power that enables your brakes to work. The brake pads will be examined and replaced, and we examine the condition of your rotors. Once the service is complete, you'll see an immediate increase in braking speed and efficiency. Tire Rotation and Alignment When your Lincoln is new, its tires are perfectly aligned. Correct alignment is important as it reduces tire wear, improves handling, reduces wear on other components, and allows faster braking. Over time, the wheels will gradually shift out of alignment. We can test your tire alignment and quickly make any necessary adjustments for you. Your tires will wear differently depending on their position on your car. Tires that aren't rotated are more likely to suffer punctures or even a bow out. We can reduce damage to your tires by shifting them from positions of greater wear to positions of lesser wear. This allows all your tires to wear down at a relatively even rate. If you'd like to book a service or explore some of our other service options, call us today at Asheville Lincoln. Image via Pixabay
