The emissions control system in your Ford converts harmful chemicals produced by combustion into less toxic ones, thereby reducing pollution. As your Ford dealer, we want to tell you some signs that you need to visit us for Ford emission control maintenance. more Black Exhaust Smoke A fuel-rich engine mixture can cause black exhaust smoke, but it's also produced by a damaged catalytic converter. The converter is a crucial part of the emissions control system, as it's responsible for converting engine gases. It does this using crushing pressure, chemical reactions, and intense heat. Once the conversion is complete, the now harmless gases pass through the exhaust system to exit from the tailpipe. Converters are very robust systems with a lifespan of over eight years, but they can wear out or get damaged. If the converter isn't working correctly, dangerous gases like hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide won't be converted, and together with unburnt fuel residue, they'll form a toxic black cloud. We'll examine the converter and repair or replace it to fix this issue. Rattling Noises Strange rattling noises under your vehicle could mean the converter is damaged. The converter has a honeycomb interior structure to provide a large surface area for gas conversion. Large quantities of hot, unburnt fuel dumped into the converter by a fuel-rich engine can raise the converter's interior temperature high enough to create cracks in the honeycomb. The heat and pressure inside the converter will cause any cracks to expand, and parts of the honeycomb will break off. These broken sections fall to the floor of the converter and will rattle around as you drive. A damaged honeycomb also reduces the converter's ability to change harmful gases and creates additional problems. A damaged honeycomb can't be repaired, but we'll replace the converter and correct the fuel-rich engine mixture. Blocked Converter Carbon is a byproduct of the conversion process, and over time, it can build up inside the converter and block the exit to the rest of the exhaust system. If the exit is blocked, converted gases will flow back into the engine. This raises the pressure inside the engine and can even cause it to shut down. A strong fuel smell will float into the cabin, and you may experience misfiring or stalling due to the increased pressure. In addition, fuel consumption will rise as the engine has to work harder to try to overcome these problems. We clear any blockages, and the converter will work normally again. Emission control problems can also cause major engine damage, so they need to be fixed ASAP. Contact our service department at Bob Maxey Ford (Detroit) in Detroit, MI.

If you plan to take your Ford SUV or pickup truck off paved roads, then it's important to use safety and engineering features that support stable handling. Ford Hill Descent Control is a key component of the Ford Co-Pilot 360 safety suite of driver assistance technology that enhances your off-road safety so you can plan your next adventure with more confidence. more Hill Descent Control works by controlling your downhill travel speed with automatic brake application. This system allows the driver to select a travel speed for downhill driving. When the system is activated, the brakes will automatically pump to prevent your vehicle from speeding down a hill. This feature can be activated during low-speed travel below 21 MPH and will automatically disengage when the vehicle travels above 37 MPH. How to Use the System Drivers can activate Hill Descent Control by pushing a button on the central console. Setting the downhill driving speed can be done by using the steering wheel cruise control switches, or drivers can use the gas and brake pedals. The brake system can override the Hill Descent Control system in case of an emergency. When to Use Ford Hill Descent Control Hill Descent Control is specifically designed for off-road travel, such as when you are descending a steep hill on rough terrain. Because this system regulates your downhill travel speed with autonomous braking, it allows you to focus more on controlling the steering direction of your Ford so you can ease around obstacles in your path or keep your vehicle straight on narrow trails. However, you can also activate this system on paved roads, such as if you are driving in a hilly area in the city or the suburbs. This system will perform with the same brake regulation pattern to maintain a slow and controlled hill descent on ordinary tarmac. This system may even be particularly helpful to control your downhill descent speed during inclement weather. Can This System Be Used While Trailering? If you are hauling a heavy load with a model like the 2025 Ford F-Series, Hill Descent Control can be a boon to your vehicle handling. Traveling downhill with a heavy trailer or camper can be tricky in both on-road and off-road driving environments. When Hill Descent Control is activated, you can feel more at ease driving down a slope with a fully loaded trailer, since this system maintains your set travel speed and prevents the heavy load from pushing your truck downhill faster. Hill Descent Control is a crucial safety feature for off-road driving at moderate speeds, but it can also be used to improve downhill vehicle control when a trailer is attached. Try out this system during a test drive at Bob Maxey Ford (Detroit) in Detroit, MI.
