Can Ford service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Ford drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Ford EcoSport, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Ford EcoSport differential service?

Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a EcoSport’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

If your EcoSport has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

Can you clear the EcoSport check engine light on your own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my EcoSport serious?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your EcoSport. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your EcoSport.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my EcoSport?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your EcoSport is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your EcoSport's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Ford, from the axles to the transmission.

You can minimize repairs by following Ford's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Ford EcoSport Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2018 Ford EcoSport drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Ford EcoSport may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
