We all know that a fire should be put out ASAP before it spreads. Well, if your car starts to misbehave, similar urgency should spur you to action. If you notice the following signs of car trouble one day, head straight to your local Lincoln dealership before the fault grows into something more serious and spreads harm to other car parts. With prompt Lincoln service, you’re carrying out the stitch in time that saves nine down the road. 

Shuddering, Struggling Engine

When something causes the engine’s spark plugs to misfire, your car will shake and cough noisily. This misfiring will become worse when you’re idling or pushing the engine to reach higher speeds. Misfiring can rapidly lead to problems inside the exhaust system, so you’ll need the underlying fault to be remedied promptly. 

Ticking or Knocking Sounds

It’s never a good sign to hear ticking or knocking from the engine compartment. These noises typically indicate under-lubricated engine parts and rising friction. If you hear them, glance at the engine temperature gauge, which is likely to be rising. Overheating can destroy a car’s engine in short order, so pull over and check your motor oil and coolant, which may be too low.

Squeaky or Sluggish Brakes 

Without strong brakes, you’re in danger of rear-ending the car ahead when you next try to stop. If your brakes start squeaking, you may simply need a new brake pad, but if your brakes already seem weaker, stop driving at once. Sluggish brakes might result from overheating or leaking brake fluid.

Slow-to-Start or Stalling Engine

Issues with the battery, starter, or electrical system could slow down your engine starts. Insufficient voltage can also lead to misfiring and engine stalls. Have your battery checked if you experience these issues. 

Hesitant or Slipping Gear Shifts

The gearbox below you should shift easily and quietly. If shifting becomes noisy and the gears seem hesitant to change, you may have low transmission fluid or a more serious fault on your hands. Slipping gears is an even more hazardous indication of transmission trouble. 

Dashboard Warning Lights 

As you drive, hundreds of advanced microchips keep your Lincoln informed of all manner of performance data. This means the first indication of a problem will usually be a warning light appearing on the instrument panel. Ignore these warning lights at your peril.

As a Lincoln owner, your daily driving will remain safe, responsive, smooth, and blissfully quiet as long as you take good care of your tires. Diligent tire maintenance needn’t be a hassle, especially with a well-planned schedule at your local Lincoln dealership. Let’s look at the absolute musts of proper tire upkeep in any car.

Rotate Your Tires Frequently

Steering, braking, and accelerating each put a different kind of strain on particular tires. This leads to uneven wear patterns that can cause problems over time unless corrected with tire rotations. For most drivers, twice a year rotations will keep their tires safely uniform in wear and size.

Always Ensure Optimal PSI

Tires also tend to gradually lose air pressure, which is potentially hazardous and tough on your suspension and connected components. Regular monthly air pressure checks will make sure your tires never become under-inflated. Over-inflation is also a danger to avoid, particularly during our swelteringly hot Texan summers when the heat expands air inside tires.

Measure and Correct Tire Alignment

As you drive, little bumps and jolts slowly accumulate, pushing the suspension slightly out of position. This misaligns the tires, which can possibly hinder handling and steering. To combat this, it’s advisable to have your tire alignment measured twice a year and fixed whenever necessary. 

Balance Your Tires as Required

Tires often come with or develop minor imperfections in how evenly they’re weighted at every point of the treads. You can fix this by asking a technician to balance your tires, which involves attaching tiny weights to the rims at certain points. 

Inspect Your Tires for Damage

Sharp objects on the road can cut or puncture tires. Sometimes the damage isn’t immediately apparent, but the tire is still weakened. With this in mind, regularly inspect your tires for gashes, bulges, large cracks, and other signs of damage. 

Keep an Eye on the Tread Depth

Each time you check your tires, also measure the tread depths. The depths of your tire treads should never be allowed to drop below 2/32 of an inch. Once a tire nears 2/32 of an inch, it’s time to replace it. 

Need Urgent Tire Maintenance? Visit Our Lincoln Dealership Today

When it comes to inspecting tires, nothing beats an expert eye. Whatever kind of tire trouble you’re experiencing, our technicians can promptly diagnose and remedy the issue, installing a new set of four if needed. Given how crucial tires are for overall vehicle performance, comfort, and safety, it’s best not to delay having problematic tires rotated, aligned, balanced, or replaced.

The 2025 Lincoln Corsair is a versatile luxury SUV that comes in both gas and plug-in hybrid variants. While all models offer a premium feel, sophisticated technology, and refined good looks, drivers with varying priorities and lifestyles have the freedom to choose what type of powertrain they want in their everyday vehicle.

Efficiency, Power, and Charging

The Premiere and Reserve trims use a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four gas engine that produces 250 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift technology and comes standard in front-wheel drive. FWD models offer superior fuel economy compared to others in the Corsair’s class, achieving 22 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway.

The top Grand Touring trim features a plug-in hybrid powertrain consisting of a 2.5L four-cylinder paired with two electric motors. This system produces 266 horsepower and comes in all-wheel drive as standard. In hybrid mode, this model achieves an estimated 33 MPG combined. While this is already top-notch, operating the vehicle in electric-only mode achieves up to 76 MPGe. Using a Level 2 charger, it takes only 3 hours to replenish the battery.

Comfort, Utility, and Design

The Corsair seats five passengers. The rear bench seat has sliding and reclining functionality, allowing passengers to find their perfect seating position. With the available Perfect Position front seats, front passengers can also ride in ultimate tailored comfort. These seats include 24-way power adjustments, heating, ventilation, massage, and memory.

Reserve and Grand Touring trims come with a hands-free power liftgate as standard, enabling drivers to open or close the hatch just by kicking under the vehicle. Rear cargo space measures 27.6 cu.ft., which expands to 57.6 cu.ft. when the rear bench seat is folded flat. The available Jet Appearance Package gives the Corsair a sleek, sporty look, with 20-inch black wheels, blacked-out exterior elements, and body-colored trim.

Infotainment, Connectivity, and Tech

All trims come with a 13.2-inch center touchscreen with SYNC 4 software, offering wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, voice-activated navigation, natural voice commands, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The vehicle can also integrate with the Lincoln Way app, which offers remote start, vehicle location, diagnostic checks, and charging management for Grand Touring models.

The standard audio system includes nine speakers. An available 14-speaker Revel premium audio system bathes passengers in cinematic-like sound quality. The Grand Touring trim goes a step further with an available 28-speaker Revel Ultima 3D system.

Buyers can expect great things from the 2025 Corsair, with its efficient powertrain choices, plush amenities, and smart technology. Figure out what model works best for your lifestyle and budget at Bayway Lincoln in Houston, TX.

Healthy brakes are essential for safe driving, as they ensure you can control your speed and stop whenever needed. As time passes, brake components will become worn or damaged, and your brakes will become less responsive. As your Lincoln dealership, we want you to know a few signs you need to visit us for a brake service.

Soft Brake Pedal

When you push down on the brake pedal, you’ll feel resistance, which increases as you apply more pressure. This resistance you feel is generated by the pressurized brake fluid. The fluid is highly pressurized as it has to force the brake pads against the rotors, so the brake pads can generate the friction that stops the wheels.

If you feel less resistance than normal from the brake pedal, it’s called a soft brake pedal. This could mean a blockage in one or more of the brake hoses, or there’s a brake fluid leak. We advise contacting us ASAP so our technicians can investigate. A soft brake pedal means the brakes will be slower to respond, and this could result in an accident.

Pulling to One Side

The braking system is designed so that all four calipers are pushed against the rotors simultaneously. This ensures smooth and quick braking. If you find your Lincoln turns to one side when you brake, one of the calipers isn’t engaging as it should, and its wheel continues to move until brought to a stop by the other wheels.

Pulling to one side is potentially dangerous, as delayed brake responsiveness could be the difference between a near miss and an avoidable collision. It can be caused by a damaged or rusted caliper that doesn’t clamp against its rotor, or there could be an air bubble or other blockage in the hose leading to the caliper. We’ll investigate and fix the problem.

Vibrations When You Brake

If you feel vibrations through the pedal when you hit the brakes, you could have one or more uneven rotors. In time, the rotor’s locations mean rust can develop on them due to driving through mud or water. The heat caused by braking can also cause some of the pad’s adhesive to liquify and spread across a rotor. When it dries, it leaves behind irregular patches on the rotor surface.

If a caliper grabs an irregular surface, it produces a jolt you’ll feel through the pedal. We fix this problem by resurfacing the affected rotors, which involves removing the top layer of metal to make the rotor surface smooth again.

If you have a brake problem, our Lincoln-trained technicians can repair it so you can drive safely. Contact our service department today at Bayway Lincoln in Houston, TX.

When your Lincoln needs a service or repair, two types of parts can be used: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and aftermarket. As your Lincoln dealership, we only use Lincoln OEM parts in all the work we do. We want to tell you some of the many reasons why OEM parts are superior to aftermarket parts.

Reasons Why Lincoln OEM Parts Are Superior to Aftermarket Parts

They’re High Quality

OEM parts are designed and engineered to the highest standards. They undergo extensive testing to ensure they’re strong and durable, and they’re manufactured from the highest-quality materials. They also meet or exceed national and international quality standards, giving you peace of mind that they will last as long as the parts they replace.

Aftermarket parts are cheaper than OEM parts, but their lower cost sacrifices quality. They’re made from lower-quality materials, which won’t last as long as your Lincoln’s original parts. They also don’t undergo the same stringent testing or meet the same standards as OEM parts. In the long run, aftermarket parts are more expensive as they have to be replaced more frequently.

A Lincoln SUV offers the ultimate in comfort and performance, with both new and pre-owned models available. Whether you’ve got your eye on a Corsair, Navigator, or Aviator, you’ll find flexible financing options available at your local dealership.

Financing Your Lincoln SUV: What You Need to Know

Flexible Financing

When financing your next vehicle, Lincoln can provide a range of flexible financing packages. This allows you to structure your package to suit your driving needs and your budget. Some of the factors that can influence the cost of the financing include:

• SUV price
• Down payment
• Interest rate
• Loan term
• Your credit rating
• Any trade-in value

If you have a vehicle to trade in, the value can be used to directly offset against the financing to give you a larger down payment. A larger down payment will reduce the monthly cost, as will extending the term. The various packages available mean that you can explore the different options to find the financing terms that are best for you.

The 2025 Lincoln Aviator is comfortable, stylish, and luxurious. Its powerful engine and meticulously designed and engineered systems deliver the top-level performance you expect from a Lincoln. These high-quality systems require servicing and maintenance to continue to provide this performance, as even Lincoln components will eventually wear out. As your Lincoln dealer, we want to give you a few examples of the types of maintenance we provide.

Examples of Maintenance for Your 2025 Lincoln Aviator Available at Your Lincoln Dealer

Oil Replacement

Your Aviator has a 3.0L V6 in-turbocharged engine, and it uses high-quality 5W-30 synthetic oil. Synthetic oil lasts longer and can withstand higher temperatures than regular oil. It’s pumped through the engine by the oil pump, covering countless engine components in a protective coating that reduces friction. It also contains specialized additives that protect against rust, keep your engine clean, and break down potential blockages.

Synthetic oil will become less effective over time as it thickens and slows down due to the accumulation of dirt and other minute debris absorbed in its travels through the engine. Thick, slow-moving oil increases wear and tear on engine components and could even block the oil filter, causing engine damage. To prevent these problems, we drain and replace your oil and install a new oil filter, and this is performed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.
