With a legacy stretching all the way back to 1964, it might be hard to believe that a car as iconic as the Mustang can be revolutionary. But the 2024 Ford Mustang is taking one of the most beloved cars in the world into new territory, leading the pack in technology and ushering in a new era of American muscle. Revolutions Under the Hood The 2024 Mustang continues to carry the revolution forward, with base models integrating a 3.2-liter edition of the EcoBoost engine, building the perfect balance between gut-punching performance and fuel economy. The GT and Dark Horse trims offer the 4th generation Coyote 5.0-liter V8, offering up to 500 horsepower. more A Smooth Ride Ford built the 2024 Mustang around an integral link, independent rear suspension, which assists in minimizing body roll and isolating road imperfections. They used innovative materials and manufacturing to integrate aluminum-alloy rear knuckles and H-arms to reduce unsprung mass. But the technological star of the suspension is the available, updated Gen 3 MagneRide Damping System, which responds a thousand times per second for each damper to provide confident road-hugging handling. A Car Almost as Smart as You Are Cruising on the highway has never been easier. Ford's CoPilot 360 technology integrates ingenious adaptive cruise control, allowing you to choose your following distance from the vehicle ahead. The car itself can even read and interpret speed limit signs on the highway, while stop-and-go technology means your Mustang will slow down when traffic does. Helpful Track Tools On the track, standard TrackApps display your performance metrics on either the 12.4" LCD instrument cluster or the center-mounted touchscreen. Not only can the car track your acceleration and lap times, it even tracks and displays your lateral and longitudinal g-forces, letting you know exactly how hard the pony is pushing you into your seat. It Tells You What it Needs Built-in remote features like start/stop, lock/unlock, and car location are available on the FordPass app, but the innovation doesn't stop there. Your Mustang can inform you of your vehicle status, and even fuel level and oil life, all via your smartphone. It can even help you get fuel delivery, flat-tire repair and more with integrated roadside assistance. Entertainment Galore With an absolutely massive 13.2-inch center display, integrated Android Auto and Apple CarPlay technology, and optional Ford Sync 4 technology, there's plenty of connectivity for everyone in this year's Mustang. Available wireless charging pads and 12-speaker Bang and Olufsen sound systems enhance creature comforts and keep your devices charged. With all the technological revolutions built into the 2024 Mustang lineup, there's one thing that hasn't changed: it's still an absolute blast to drive.

Every new Ford comes complete with a series of warranties that protect you against any possible defect in your vehicle due to a material or labor-related issue. Since there are many different warranties, as your Ford dealer, we'd like to tell you more about your car warranty provisions and the type and duration of protection provided. New Vehicle Limited Warranty This warranty provides bumper-to-bumper protection for all your car's systems and components for three years/36,000 miles. Any work necessary to repair, replace, or adjust any component under this warranty will automatically be completed by a dealer free of charge. more Powertrain Warranty The powertrain warranty applies specifically to your gasoline engine, transmission, and drivetrain components. It protects you against any unforeseen issue with any of these vital systems. The warranty doesn't cover general wear and tear, for example, a drive belt that wears out due to normal usage. This warranty applies for five years/60,000 miles. Power Stroke Diesel Warranty This warranty and the one above are mutually exclusive, as this warranty only applies to diesel engines. It provides the same level of guarantees and protection but excludes damage due to normal wear and tear. The diesel warranty applies for the first five years/100,000 miles. Hybrid/Electric Unique Components Hybrid and electric vehicles have a range of components that are completely different from any gasoline or diesel-powered vehicle. This warranty provides full protection against defects with any of the specialized components in hybrid or electric vehicles. It applies for eight years/100,000 miles. Corrosion Warranty Corrosion is an ever-present threat to any metal, and your Ford has specialized in-built protection to protect against this. Under normal conditions, your Ford shouldn't suffer from perforation damage, which is corrosion that eats through the metal from one side to the other. This warranty applies for five years/unlimited mileage. Emissions Warranty Combustion produces the energy that enables your car to move. Unfortunately, this process also produces a range of dangerous gases like carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide. Your Ford has a highly efficient emissions control system that converts these gases into harmless gases and water. This warranty protects all the emission system components against any latent issue, and its duration varies depending on your Ford model. Safety Restraint Warranty Ford's are well-known for their advanced safety systems. This particular warranty focuses on the safety belts and airbags. It's valid for the first five years/60,000 miles. Ford also offers a range of protection plans that you can choose from. These plans take effect at the moment the original warranties wear out and extend your coverage into the future. You can choose the plan's duration and also the deductible. If you'd like to know more about your warranty or extension options, contact us today at Crown Ford, Inc. in Lynbrook, NY.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Combustion generates huge amounts of heat, and sustained high temperatures can damage your engine. Your Ford has a very efficient cooling system to solve this problem, and the capstone of the system is the radiator. It's responsible for removing heat and maintaining a safe engine temperature. If your radiator is damaged, your Ford dealer can fix it for you. These are some signs that you need a radiator repair. Damaged Radiator Tubes The front of the radiator is comprised of rows of thin aluminum tubes. Engine heat is captured by coolant that's pumped through the engine. The coolant then passes into the radiator and enters the tubes, where the heat is removed by air flowing in through the grille. The numerous tubes provide a large area to speed up the heat exchanger process. more These tubes are very light and easily damaged. Hard substances like sand and grit can blow in through the grill and dent them. A dented tube will block the inflow of coolant, and as more tubes are damaged, the radiator's cooling ability will be severely restricted. Lack of cooling due to the damaged tubes can cause your engine to overheat. We can fix this problem by removing the damaged radiator and installing a new one. Coolant Leaks Liquid coolant is vital for the cooling system as it's the only means to transport heat to the radiator for removal. This coolant moves through your engine at high speed, which means any damage to part of the cooling system can result in a coolant leak. Damage to the head gasket, the seal between the upper and lower engine sections, can cause coolant to leak into your exhaust. Coolant is available in bright colors like pink, orange, yellow, and blue, which helps to easily identify a coolant leak. If you notice a leak, we advise contacting us ASAP. Driving with a low coolant level can cause your engine to rapidly overheat. Our technicians will trace and seal the leak, then we'll refill your coolant. Engine Temperature Gauge When you start your engine, the temperature g​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​auge will rise, and the indicator should hover near the center of the gauge. This happens because the cooling system activates when your engine temperature rises over 180 F. As you're driving, you may notice the gauge rises sharply when you accelerate or if you're towing a heavy load, but it will drop again as the cooling system speeds up to reduce the temperature again. If you see that your temperature is rising steadily for no apparent reason, your radiator could have failed. We'll examine your cooling system to identify the problem and then fix it. We can easily and quickly fix any radiator problem. Call us today at Crown Ford Inc.

So you've been on a few test drives and you're ready to move forward with purchasing your next vehicle. The only thing left to do is arrange financing. Car financing sounds daunting, but it doesn't have to be. The process is straightforward when you're financing through your local Ford dealer. There are several benefits to dealer financing. 1. It's Simple Arranging financing at the dealership is a simple, straightforward, no-hassle process. You'll fill out a credit application that we'll then shop around to the dealers we work with. We'll bring the financing offers back to you so that you can select the one that best suits your budget. The whole process can usually be completed in just a few minutes without even leaving the car lot. more 2. It's Often Cheaper Auto dealerships typically offer great financing rates. Many dealers offer incentives like zero-percent financing or cash rebates to consumers who finance through them. When you arrange financing through your local dealer, you can rest assured that you'll receive a competitive interest rate and favorable terms. 3. It's More Flexible If you line up a preapproved auto loan from another lender, you may face limits on which dealership you can shop at and which model you can purchase. Preapprovals from other lenders are also typically only good for a fixed amount of time, which means you'll need to make your purchase within a certain window. Financing through a dealership preserves your flexibility and allows you to purchase whichever model you want, whenever you want, at your dealership of choice. It gives you ​the freedom to shop around and select ​the vehicle you want. 4. It's an Option for Those With Poor Credit If you have poor credit, dealer financing can be a terrific option. Since dealerships work with a network of lenders, they're more likely to find one that can work with you, even if you have credit issues. Some dealerships also have special financing departments that focus exclusively on working with consumers who have poor credit. 5. It's Easier To Pay Over Time Would spreading out your payments over a longer period make it a little easier on your budget? Car dealerships are more often able to offer financing packages that include a longer term, which means you have more months to repay the debt. Financing packages with a longer term tend to carry lower monthly payments, which can fit easily into your monthly budget. Financing a vehicle is nothing to worry about, especially if you're working with your local dealer. Don't let uncertainty about the financing process stand in your way. Head on over to Crown Ford Lynbrook and start looking for your next car or truck today!

When your Ford starts having engine problems, you have to take care of it right away. Given how complex your engine is, these issues should always be addressed at your Ford dealership. 1. Overheating An overheating engine can cause a lot of damage. Overheating can spring from a malfunctioning thermostat, cooling system leaks, radiator issues, or water pump failure. Overlooking this issue can lead to engine warping or more severe damage. more 2. Starting Problems If your engine won't start, faulty spark plugs, a clogged fuel filter, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or problems with the battery might be to blame. Even if you can coax your vehicle to start, you should head to the dealership to determine the cause. 3. Unusual Engine Noises Any new or unusual noises from the engine, like squealing, knocking, or thumping, can signal serious problems. These sounds may point to issues with your belts, bearings, or other engine components. 4. Exhaust Smoke Smoke from your exhaust is not normal, but different colors of smoke point to different causes. White exhaust smoke might indicate a coolant leak into the engine. Black smoke often suggests an imbalance in the air-to-fuel ratio. This could be due to a clogged air filter, a leaking fuel injector, or a faulty fuel pressure regulator. Blue smoke may mean oil is burning in your engine. 5. Check Engine Light If the check engine light comes on, it could signal anything from minor issues to serious damage. A diagnostic check at the dealership can determine the cause and let you know which repairs are necessary. 6. Loss of Power If you put your foot down on the accelerator but you don't speed up, your engine is losing power. A noticeable loss of engine power can occur due to anything from problems with the fuel system, clogged filters, or worn-out spark plugs. 7. Rough Idling If the engine runs roughly or stalls at idle, you may have anything from dirty fuel injectors to a faulty idle air control valve. There may also be issues with the computerized engine control system. 8. Fluid Leaks Oil, coolant, or other fluid leaks can lead to engine damage if you don't take care of them. Leaks can result from gasket failures, hose breaks, or general wear and tear. 9. Engine Misfiring If you notice sporadic stuttering or loss of power, it may be caused by your engine misfiring. A misfiring engine can be due to ignition problems, fuel system issues, or internal engine damage. 10. Poor Fuel Economy A sudden decrease in fuel economy can indicate trouble with your engine. Possible causes include sensor malfunctions or exhaust system issues. Engine trouble should always be repaired quickly by professionals to maintain your Ford's performance. If your car is giving you problems, visit Crown Ford right away to get expert assistance with your engine.

Do you remember how long it's been since your last oil change? If not, then you're probably due for one soon. You can get this service done at your local Ford dealer, and there are many other forms of routine maintenance you should get regularly, too. Today, most Ford models need their oil replaced every 7,500 miles. This typically equates to every six months. If you haven't driven 7,500 miles in the last six months, then you should visit the dealer for an oil replacement anyway. Oil shouldn't be left sitting around in your engine for too long. Your Ford may even let you know it's time to change the oil sooner than expected, as modern Ford cars have oil life monitors built-in. more This 7,500-mile recommendation is based on what the majority of modern Ford vehicles require. Older models typically need their oil replaced more often, and some Fords need their oil replaced less frequently. Checking your owner's manual and consulting your mechanic will give you information that's specific to your specific Ford model. What Impacts How Often You Need to Change Your Oil? Oil Type There's more than one oil type, and different models use different oils. Full synthetic oil can often last 10,000 miles before it needs to be changed. Conventional oil typically needs to be changed every 5,000 miles. Some oil blends are somewhere in the middle, needing to be changed every 7,500 miles or so. Towing and Cargo Do you tow a lot? If so, then you need to change your motor oil more frequently than someone who doesn't. If you don't frequently tow, but you do carry lots of heavy cargo in your car's trunk or truck's bed, then you'll also need to get your oil replaced more often than someone who doesn't carry heavy loads that often. Road Conditions Driving on tough terrain, such as in the types of conditions you encounter while driving on the trails, can make you need to change your oil more frequently. Driving on loose terrain and dusty roads also makes you need to change out your oil more often than the average driver. What Happens When You Need an Oil Replacement? Motor oil keeps your engine well-lubricated and prevents friction between your engine's moving parts. If you have poor-quality oil cycling through your engine, then you may experience issues such as stalling, overheating, and reduced gas mileage. Your engine will probably get louder, too. Increased engine noise may be the first sign that will show up when you need new oil. Come and get your oil and filter changed at Crown Ford Inc. Our mechanics have vast experience with Ford cars and can help you determine how often your specific model needs its oil replaced.

When car tires are allowed to wear down unevenly, it can cause a variety of performance and safety problems. The best weapon against uneven tire wear is regular tire rotation at your local Ford dealership. Let's take a look at the many ways that routine rotation can help you enjoy a smoother, safer, more pleasurable ride. Your Car's Handling Improves As tires become excessively uneven, the wheels become uneven in size. This puts awkward strain on differing sides or corners of your vehicle, which inevitably increases resistance and reduces handling. more Uneven tires can reduce the quality of your steering and cornering. This means the sense of control you have over your car will be diminished. All of this is avoided when routine rotations keep your tires more uniform in size. You Have Less Chance of Blowouts When tires wear down in an unequal way, one or two of them become weaker than the others. Certain of your tires will also start carrying more than their fair share of the car's weight. This overall unevenness can lead to certain tires taking more premature damage and perhaps even blowing out on the road. The most worn-down tires are also more likely to lose traction on a wet puddle and cause a skid. Your Suspension Is Protected When tires become uneven in size, it can put the suspension and other closely connected car parts under inappropriate pressure and strain. This is more likely to lead to suspension faults, requiring servicing or repairs. Because of this, regular rotation keeps both your tires and suspension in better shape for longer. You Hear Less Road Noise When tires become uneven and road resistance increases, you may well hear more road noise when you're driving. This might be accompanied by more vibrations than usual. Rotation can help keep your drives smooth and quiet, as all modern Ford cars should be. You Spend Less Money on Tires Perhaps the most compelling reason to have your tires regularly swapped around is the cost savings. Regular rotation helps each set of four tries last longer, as it delays the day when any one tire becomes too worn down to safely use. If you can add an extra year or two onto the lifespan of each set of tires, then you're saving on your overall tire expenditure. This may add up to a considerable sum over the decade or two that you own your car. Visit Crown Ford Lynbrook today to have your tires rotated. Along with providing excellent new and pre-owned vehicles at competitive prices, we take great pride in the high quality of our customer service and care.

You decide to take a nice evening drive, but when you switch on the headlights, they start flickering. That's one of several signs that can show up when you need new headlights from your Ford dealer. Let's talk about the signs in depth and see how frequently you should be getting your headlights replaced in general. After five or six years, your car's headlights aren't going to be able to generate as much light as they did when they were new. So, although they may last a few years longer, they should generally be replaced before they're six years old. more Of course, there's no hard and fast rule about how often every single driver is going to need to replace their headlights. If you use your headlights often, then yours may last longer than average and may work very well for more than five or six years. We recommend always monitoring how bright they are so you'll notice when they start to get dimmer. Once they start dimming, it's time to replace them. When You Should Visit the Ford Dealer to Get Your Headlights Replaced When One Stops Working The bulbs in your headlights might not die out at the exact same time. However, both headlights need to be replaced at once. So, if one of the bulbs no longer works, then you'll need to go and get both of them replaced. When They Start Flickering If your headlights flicker even for a moment, then don't delay in getting to the dealer. Some headlights will flicker for a while before they die out, but with others, you'll notice them flickering once, and then they won't turn on the next time you try to activate them. When Your Headlights Start Dimming As we said earlier, your headlights will start dimming after about five or six years. They'll probably start dimming sooner if you drive in low-visibility conditions a lot. You may be able to drive with headlights that are slightly dimmer than they used to be, but you shouldn't. They'll get even dimmer as time goes on and should be replaced before the dimming becomes very significant. When They Get Hazy Headlights should sometimes be replaced when they get hazy. However, not all haziness is caused by your headlights dying. Sometimes hazy because the headlight casing has been damaged by UV light or has become clouded by dirt and debris. Visit the dealer so they can either deep clean the headlight casing or change the bulbs for you, depending on what the problem is. Come to Crown Ford if you're having issues with your headlights. We'll check all your exterior lights for you during routine service also, so make sure you stop by regularly for preventative maintenance and checkups.

It's probably the last thing on your mind when you're on the road, but the minute you notice a decline in your battery or unusual performance by your vehicle when you're starting it, it's time to think about getting a new car battery from your Ford dealer. Here are the signs that your battery may be due for replacement. more Your Engine Is Slow To Crank Your vehicle's battery provides the power that starts your engine, and when its strength begins to diminish, your vehicle will gradually become slower and more difficult to start. If it takes a couple of tries for your engine to catch, or if it's slow to start, that may indicate that your battery should be checked and may need to be replaced. Your Ignition Clicks If your engine doesn't turn over at all and your ignition simply clicks when you try to start the vehicle, that's an indication of a battery issue. Repeated clicking means there may be a limited amount of electricity available to start your engine. It's also a signal that it's time to schedule a service appointment to have your battery checked out. Your Electrical Components Fail The battery in your vehicle doesn't just provide the juice needed to start your engine. It also powers components like headlights, windshield wipers, the radio, interior lighting, and even the power windows. If these components are malfunctioning, moving slowly, or not working at all, it could mean your battery is starting to lose power. A fresh battery installed by our dealership can easily fix these issues. You Notice a Putrid Smell Under the Hood If you notice a sulfuric smell under your hood that reminds you of rotten eggs, that may be an indication that your battery is leaking. A battery may leak as a result of old age, a short circuit, or even the degradation of the battery case. Whatever the reason, if your battery is leaking you should schedule a service appointment so that one of our factory-trained technicians can check things out. Your Battery Appears Misshapen Another thing to pay attention to beneath the hood of your vehicle is the shape and condition of your battery. If your battery appears misshapen, or if you notice signs of powdery corrosion on its metal parts, your battery may be in distress and in need of replacement. If your vehicle's battery seems to be declining, schedule an appointment with our service department to have your battery evaluated. A battery service performed by our service department is quick and affordable. When you're ready to schedule your next service appointment, be sure to call Crown Ford Lynbrook.
