Why do my blinker-signal lights blink faster sometimes?

When your blinker-signal lights blink faster than usual it means your lights are out. It is your car’s way of telling you that you need to change out the light bulbs so your blinkers can function normally.

 

Why Does My Car Hydroplane?

Hydroplaning occurs when a tire encounters more water than it can distribute. Water pressure in the front of the wheel pushes water beneath the tire, and the tire is removed from the road surface by a thin film of water which causes the loss of traction. Hydroplaning can result in the loss of steering, braking and power control. If you hydroplane while you’re driving you should look for open space to travel in. Stay lightly on the accelerator and steer your wheel gently toward the open space you have identified.

The danger of extreme heat in cars to kids and pets:

Hot cars can quickly become deadly for children and pets. On a hot day, the temperature inside a vehicle can quickly rise to dangerous levels for pets and people left inside even for ‘just a minute.’ If you leave a child or a pet in a car they can’t open the door, or let down the windows, or turn on the air conditioner. After 30 minutes the temperature inside the car can reach 117°F (47°C) on a hot day. A chart on the American Veterinary Medical Association’s website shows that on a 70°F day, the inside of a vehicle can reach almost 100°F in 20 minutes. This heat can cause your child or pet to have a heat stroke. Annually the average of children 15 or younger have lost their lives caused by a heat stroke after being left in a vehicle is 39. Almost every state in America has experienced at least one death since 1998. 2018 has set a record number of 53 children who died after being left in a hot vehicle, and 2019 follows right behind with 52 deaths. 

 

2020 Ford F-150 safety rating

2020 F150 LED Lights

        Ford F150s have many LED light choices that help you see at night. Headlamps-quad Beam LEDs are lights in the front of your truck so you can see while you’re driving at night. The lights are so bright you can see at night and during the day. The light bulbs in Headlamps-quad Beam LEDs also have a longer life-span and do not need to be replaced as often as typical headlights. LED Side-Mirror Spotlights are lights on your side view mirrors, so driving at night is easier. For example, parking your truck at night. Parking at night in a big truck may be difficult, especially if you cannot see well at night, but side-mirror spotlights assist with making the sides of the vehicle visible in the dark. Box Lighting-LEDs are bright LED pods used to light up the bed of your truck in the night or day time. The lights are extremely bright and are very handy so you can see your entire bed. Box Lighting-LEDs have an off/on button that is located in the bed and the cab which is very convenient.

How do you keep that ‘new car’ scent in longer?

Try doing to the following:

  • Keep your vehicle clean. 
  • Detail it often by vacuuming and using a damp cloth to clean the interior plastics.
  • Don’t leave smelly items in it. For example: gym bags, shoes, trash, or any food items.
  • Do not eat in your car.
  • Do not smoke in your car.
  • Use leather conditioner.

What does it mean if your car vibrates when braking?

If you are braking and there is vibration it generally means the brake rotors are warped. When you hit the brakes while traveling downhill, the brake rotors normally heat up. This heat can cause the metal to expand which causes the warpage shaking through the car as your speed reduces.

If you’re stopped at a stoplight, or when parked with the engine idling and the vehicle shakes or the engine shudders a lot, it may point out the motor mounts or transmission mounts are damaged or broken. If the shaking decreases, it’s a strong signal the engine’s motor mounts need to be inspected by a mechanic.
