How does Ford drivetrain maintenance help save money?

When should I come in for Ford Taurus differential service?

Is it possible to reset the Taurus malfunction warning light on my 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.

A drivetrain malfunction in your Taurus should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Does my Taurus drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Taurus includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Taurus forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2014 Ford Taurus

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Taurus's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Taurus and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2014 Ford Taurus to maintain its performance power. Follow Ford's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Ford Taurus Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2014 Ford Taurus drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Ford could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Ford Taurus doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2014 Ford Taurus? Again, it depends!
