What kind of maintenance does a Ford EcoBoost engine need that's different from other engines?
Ford's EcoBoost engines use turbocharging, which means they run hotter and place more stress on components like the cam phasers and timing chain than a naturally aspirated engine does.
Staying on top of oil changes matters more here, since oil quality directly affects turbo longevity. Our trustworthy
technicians at Bernhard Auto Works have specific experience with EcoBoost engines and know what to check. We're open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so call (618) 281-6900 and we'll find a time that works.
Why does my Ford Focus or Fiesta feel like it's shuddering or hesitating when I accelerate?
This is a known characteristic of Ford's PowerShift dual-clutch transmission, used in certain Focus and Fiesta model years, and it often points to clutch wear or a need for a software update rather than a major mechanical failure.
Our trustworthy
technicians at Bernhard Auto Works are familiar with this transmission's quirks and can tell you whether you're looking at a simple fix or something more involved. Call (618) 281-6900 and we'll get you a straight answer.
Why won't my Ford's 4x4 engage properly?
This usually points to a worn transfer case actuator, a low fluid level, or an electrical connection issue rather than anything catastrophic, and it's a common concern on Ford trucks and SUVs.
We can test the actuator, fluid, and wiring to find exactly where the system is failing. Our hours are Mon-Fri: 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM | Sat-Sun: Closed, so call (618) 281-6900 and we'll get your 4x4 working the way it should.
