If there's one routine vehicle inspection you don't want to miss, it's a routine brake inspection. The condition of your car's brakes is vital for road safety and most drivers should have their brakes inspected at least twice a year. In addition, if you notice the following symptoms of brake trouble, head to your local Lincoln dealership to have your brakes examined and repaired immediately. 7 Signs Your Lincoln Needs a Brake Inspection: What To Look For Reduced Stopping Power If brakes are poorly maintained, a variety of issues might cause them to lose power. There could be a fault in the caliper, rotor, brake pads, brake booster, fluid, or brake lines. Overheating from prolonged use can also cause the brakes to reduce in strength. It's very unwise to drive with anything but fully functioning brakes, so have your weakened brakes repaired as quickly as possible. more Veering When Braking If you find your car pulling to one side when you brake, then the brakes at one wheel have probably malfunctioned. This is also a hazardous situation that should be remedied at once. Spongy Brake Pedal Leaking brake fluid would diminish the power of your brakes and cause the pedal to feel less firm underfoot. In the case of a leak, the brake pedal might feel spongy when you press it. This is because hydraulic pressure has been lost inside the leaking brake line. Puddle of Brake Fluid A brake fluid leak might also leave a pool of yellow or brown liquid under your car or in the wheel wells. If your brakes seem abnormal in any way, check for such puddles on the drive. Squeaking or Grinding When brake pads are almost finished, they tend to emit a squeaking sound. This noise means one of your pads must be replaced right away. Grinding sounds typically indicate a more serious problem; a brake pad could have worn away completely. Vibrating Brake Pedal If one of your rotors grows too thin and warps out of shape or becomes scored when overheating, you may feel rhythmic vibrations in the brake pedal. These vibrations might also be felt through the steering wheel. Brake Warning Light Fortunately, the highly sensitive sensors in your Lincoln will usually pick up brake trouble before you do. You'll then see the brake warning light appear on the instrument panel. Book Biannual Inspections at Your Lincoln Dealership If you schedule routine inspections, you're far less likely to ever experience one of these brake problems. Unless you put your brakes under excessive strain, twice a year is typically a good interval for these inspections. If you regularly drive in heavy stop-and-go traffic or tow trailers, consider having your brakes examined even more frequently. Visit Koons Lincoln of Bethesda in Bethesda, MD, today to have your brakes checked or repaired. We share Lincoln's commitment to excellence and seek to deliver a world-class customer experience, whatever your automotive needs may be.

The transmission works symbiotically with your engine to move your vehicle. The engine generates large amounts of energy through combustion, and the transmission directs this energy to your wheels through various gears. These gears ensure your Lincoln moves at your chosen speed. As your Lincoln dealership, we want to tell you a few signs you need to visit us for a transmission service. Gear Shifting Problem Your gears should shift smoothly, easily, and silently. Once the transmission is in gear, it remains in that gear until you or the transmission computer moves it again. Gear shifting issues usually start with a slight delay between movement from one gear to the next. As time passes, this delay becomes more noticeable, and you may experience a wobbling feeling when the gears move. This issue is usually caused by low transmission fluid, which means a leak somewhere in the system. It could also be caused by faulty transmission sensors, broken bands, or dirty fluid. Our technicians will investigate and fix the problem. more Transmission Fluid Leak Transmission fluid is vital for your transmission, providing the hydraulic power that allows the gears to move. It has several other functions, including reducing the temperature in the transmission and protecting components against friction damage. The transmission casing is tough and sturdy, but transmission seals and gaskets can wear due to age, and the fluid will leak. The most common leak source is the transmission pan gasket. The transmission pan is the lowest section of the transmission and the area where the fluid is stored. It's usually easy to spot a leak, as this fluid is bright or dark red and has a slightly sweet smell. If you spot a leak, we advise against driving your Lincoln until it's repaired, as a lack of transmission fluid can cause major transmission damage. We'll repair the leak and refill the fluid. Burning Rubber Smell A burning rubber smell is easy to identify, and it's not only smelly but worrying if it's coming from your transmission. This stench means your transmission fluid has overheated and started to burn. As we've seen, transmission fluid is essential for your transmission, but it needs to be changed every 60,00 to 100,000 miles. Your vehicle manual shows the correct replacement time for your Lincoln model. Older transmission fluid provides less hydraulic power, which can cause slow gear changing. This fluid also loses its heat resistance and can burn inside the transmission case. Burning transmission fluid will damage components and cause major transmission problems. We fix this problem by flushing the transmission to remove fluid, checking for damage, resealing it, and refilling the fluid. If you have a transmission problem, contact us today at Koons Lincoln of Bethesda in Bethesda, MD.
