Cars can be temperamental. Even with the best possible Ford Servicing schedule, your Ford may breakdown when you least expect it.
On aggregate, the most common reason given for a Ford breakdown is part failure. Mechanical issues and part burnout can be seen as a somewhat inevitable inconvenience for Ford owners. No car will keep running perfectly forever without checks and changes. However, more surprising citations have recently made it into the most commonly given reasons as to why drivers have experienced issues with their car.
Here are the top ten reasons as to why car owners in the United Kingdom have experienced a problem critical enough to stop them from driving their vehicle.

You should always make sure to check the pressure, surface state, and surface integrity of your tyres. Having your tyres correctly aligned to form an equally balanced suspension is important, as excess damage may occur on one side with unequal tyre pressure. Ford Servicing can help you with this.
4. Distributor Cap Failure
The distributor cap is located above the distributor to insulate the spark plugs in your Ford. If this cap breaks or is damaged, moisture (such as rain) can leak it and short circuit the spark plug array. This prevents the car from starting.
5. Alternator Fault or Failure
The alternator is the part of the car that charges the car battery. If the connections to it are loosened or it breaks, this can make it impossible for the battery to charge, electronics to function, or the car to start.
6. Fuel Problems
Most modern cars run on either Diesel or Unleaded Petrol. If the wrong type of fuel is placed into the car's fuel tank, this can damage the engine to the point of destruction. If this happens to you and you realise it, you should call a specialist fuel removal service immediately.
