Typical Ford Issues Drivers Shouldn’t Ignore

Even the most reliable Ford vehicles can run into trouble over time. From warning lights to drivability concerns, staying ahead of common issues helps you avoid bigger repairs down the line. Here are some of the problems we regularly diagnose and fix at Fox River Tire & Auto:

Check Engine Light Troubles

Whether it’s due to a faulty sensor, emissions issue, or ignition misfire, a lit check engine light is one of the most common problems we see in Ford vehicles.

Transmission Hesitation or Slipping

Especially in models like the Ford Escape or Focus, delayed shifting or gear slipping is a frequent concern we diagnose and repair.

Electrical Glitches

From malfunctioning power windows and door locks to battery drain and warning light issues, electrical gremlins are common in Ford cars and trucks.

Misfires and Coil Pack Failures

Many Ford engines, especially EcoBoost models, are known for ignition coil and spark plug issues that lead to a rough idle or misfiring under load.

Suspension and Steering Wear

If your Ford feels loose on the road or you’re hearing clunks over bumps, it could be worn control arms, tie rods, or struts issues that we correct regularly.

Exhaust or Emissions Problems

We frequently see concerns like clogged EGR valves or failing catalytic converters, especially in higher-mileage Ford trucks and SUVs.
