Getting a New Car Battery for Your Ford
A dead battery can be a major inconvenience for any driver, and it will inevitably happen at the worst possible time. Unfortunately, a car battery will slowly decline due to age. Its lifespan can also be reduced by other issues in the engine or electrical system. As your Ford dealership, we’d like you to know a few signs your battery could be failing and it’s time to visit us for a new car battery.
Signs You Need a New Car Battery From Your Ford Dealership
Battery Sulfation
Battery sulfation is the build-up of sulfate crystals on the battery plates. Your battery contains chemicals, copper plates, an electrolyte solution, and other components. The chemical relations inside the battery enable it to store and supply electricity and also allow it to recharge when the electricity capacity is low.
Lead sulfate crystals naturally form as part of the chemical processes inside the battery, but they are usually dispersed when the battery is fully recharged. If your battery isn’t charging correctly, for example, the alternator is weak, or the battery is exposed to excessively high temperatures, sulfation will cause the battery to weaken and fail.
Corroded Terminals
Corrosion is most often found in older batteries as one of its main causes is the natural breakdown of the chemicals inside the battery. The main battery chemical, sulfuric acid, releases hydrogen as it gradually breaks down. Hydrogen molecules are minute and will escape the confines of the battery casing.
The hydrogen molecules join with sulfur molecules, which are released into the engine from the fuel. These two types of molecules will form hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is drawn to the battery terminals, and it will gather around them and form an acidic salt. This acid will gradually corrode the terminals and make recharging the battery more difficult. Corrosion can’t be permanently removed once it starts, but we can replace your battery to fix this problem.
Weak Alternator
The alternator generates electricity for your Ford’s systems and is also responsible for recharging the battery. A healthy alternator produces more than enough power to satisfy both of these requirements. As the battery ages, however, its ability to supply electricity declines. The reduced electrical supply from a weak alternator will also affect the battery.
A failing alternator can’t supply enough power to fully recharge the battery. This situation will weaken the battery and eventually cause it to fail. Our technicians can quickly replace a weak alternator, and we’ll test your battery. If the battery hasn’t been damaged, we can recharge it. If the battery is damaged, we’ll install a new one.
If you suspect your battery could be failing, contact our service department right away at Legacy Ford of McDonough in McDonough, GA.

Does Your Ford Need New Headlights?
Headlights are your first line of defense while driving in the dark or bad weather. Like any other part of your vehicle, headlights can wear out, dim over time, or become damaged. Recognizing the signs that is time to get new headlights from the Ford dealer is important to stay safe on the road.
Dim Headlights
One of the most common indicators that it might be time to replace your headlights is when they have started to dim. If the road ahead seems darker than usual, despite your headlights being on, this could mean the bulbs are nearing the end of their life. Headlights naturally weaken and dim over time, so if your nighttime visibility is not what it used to be, new bulbs could provide a significant improvement.
Flickering or Inconsistent Lighting
Headlights that flicker on and off or produce an inconsistent beam of light are also signaling trouble. Flickering might mean a faulty connection or that you’re nearing the end of your bulb’s lifespan.
One Headlight Is Out
Driving with one headlight can significantly impair your visibility and make your vehicle less visible to others. It’s also illegal, putting you at risk of a traffic violation. If one headlight burns out, it’s often a good idea to replace both bulbs at the same time, as the other is not likely to be far behind.
Cracks or Moisture in the Headlight Cover
Physical damage to the headlight cover, such as cracks or holes, can lead to moisture accumulation inside the headlight assembly. This can cause bulbs to blow out prematurely and reduce the effectiveness of your headlights.
Yellowing or Clouded Headlights
Over time, the clear plastic cover of your headlights can become yellowed or clouded due to exposure to the sun’s UV rays. This oxidation significantly reduces the amount of light that can pass through, diminishing nighttime visibility. While headlight restoration kits can temporarily reduce this problem, replacing the headlights might be the best solution for long-term clarity.
Visit Your Ford Dealership for New Headlights
When it’s time to replace your headlights, the best place to go for the service is your local dealer. Our technicians only use OEM, or Original Equipment Manufacturer, parts, ensuring your replacement headlights are of the same quality as the originals. Ford technicians are also specifically trained to work on Ford vehicles, meaning we know exactly how to handle your headlight replacement and can ensure it’s done right the first time.
Maintaining your Ford’s headlights and keeping them in top condition is about more than appearance or avoiding a ticket. It helps ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road. If you’ve noticed signs of trouble with your headlights, visit Legacy Ford of McDonough in McDonough, GA for help.
Neglecting to check on the condition of your tires can result in the frustration of a flat tire while out on the road. Poor tire maintenance might even result in more serious safety hazards such as blowouts or skids. With this in mind, if you detect the following issues with your tires, head straight to your nearest Ford dealership for a set of new tires.
Time for New Tires? Visit Your Ford Dealership Today
Blisters, Cuts, or Cracks
The structural integrity of a tire is threatened by any kind of significant damage. Any kind of deep cut from a road object will usually make a tire unsafe to continue using.
Likewise, bulges or blisters often point to serious internal damage that shouldn’t be ignored. Long, deep, or awkwardly positioned cracks may also spell the end of the road for the tire.
Worn-Out Tread Depths
Tire treads inevitably diminish over time, but the tread depths of tires should never be allowed to fall beneath 2/32 of an inch. This would reduce the tire’s ability to grip road surfaces, especially when driving on a puddle or wet patch; water needs to be displaced by deep enough treads, without which a dangerous skid can easily ensue.
Inexplicable Air Loss
While periodically checking the pressure of your tires, pay attention if one of them seems to be steadily losing air. Even slight inexplicable air loss means there’s something wrong with the tire. A hidden puncture might be releasing the air, threatening to become a full blowout on the road.
Road Noise and Vibrations
When tires become worn out or damaged, you may notice a difference in overall road noise and vibrations. If your car feels and sounds rougher than usual, check your tires or ask a technician to inspect them for you.
Significantly Uneven Tires
Car tires almost always wear down unevenly. This is caused by the unbalanced pressures of the brakes, steering, and vehicle weight across the length of the vehicle. While regular tire rotation can usually mitigate uneven tire wear, sometimes tires become too uneven in size and need to be replaced.
Climates With Extreme Temperatures
The temperature can have a big impact on tire pressure, which might put the driver at risk. Extremely cold weather can cause air pressure to diminish, potentially leading to overheating and blowouts. Conversely, hot climates can expand the air inside tires, which leads to overinflation and further risks of skids and blowouts.
Excessively Old Tires
Most tires won’t last for more than six years before they start to fail. It’s wise to consider replacing your tires after six years, even if they appear to still be in good condition.
The toughest of tires might last for ten years; it’s certainly unwise to use the same tires for more than a decade. Always check the recommended duration of use that comes with your particular brand of tires.
