The engine provides large amounts of uncontrolled energy, which the transmission controls by applying this energy to the wheels to enable them to move at the required speed. Transmission components wear out as they get older and need replacement. As your RAM dealership, we'd like you to know a few signs that you need to visit us for a transmission service. more Transmission Leak Transmission fluid provides the essential hydraulic power that allows the gears to shift smoothly. It's pumped through the transmission and helps cool the hot components. In addition, the fluid coats these components in a friction-resistant covering that protects them against wear and tear. The transmission is sealed, but over time, seals can wear out, and the fluid will leak. Leaking transmission fluid is easy to spot, as it's bright or dark red. If you see a puddle of red fluid under your vehicle, contact us ASAP, and don't try to drive your RAM. If you drive with low transmission fluid, you can cause serious, irreparable damage. We'll find and fix the leak and refill the transmission fluid, and your transmission will work effectively again. Buzzing, Humming, and Whining A RAM transmission works smoothly and silently as it shifts gears according to the transmission computer's orders. Strange noises, like faint humming or buzzing, are signs that something is wrong. These noises are very difficult to detect when they start, but they rise in intensity as time passes. They can also develop into more unnerving sounds, like a painful whining noise. Buzzing and humming sounds can have several causes, including damaged transmission bands, solenoid issues, a failing fluid pump, or low transmission fluid. Whining noises from the transmission, on the other hand, are usually caused by a damaged torque converter, a clogged transmission filter, or blocked transmission lines. We'll find the cause of the trouble and fix it, and the noises will stop. Slipping Gears Once the transmission shifts gears, it remains in that gear until it's shifted again by you or the transmission computer. Slipping gears is a dangerous situation where the gears shift without warning. If this happens, the gears usually shift to their previous position, potentially causing an accident if your RAM transmission is forced into Park or Neutral. Gear slippage is usually accompanied by harsh metallic sounds as gear teeth are forced against each other. A low transmission fluid level can cause this problem, as insufficient fluid prevents the gears from shifting correctly. Other potential causes include a transmission computer issue and worn gear teeth.  Our technicians will investigate and repair the problem. If your transmission isn't working correctly, contact us right away at Snethkamp CDJR in Redford, MI.

You may notice this through the warning lights on the dash. Since these warning lights indicate everything from a loose gas cap to a serious engine issue, identifying the cause quickly and accurately is crucial. This is the essence of the vehicle diagnostic testing service offered at your Ram dealer. more How Does it Work Every Ram has an onboard computer that acts as the brain of your car. It continuously gathers information from various sensors in the engine and other systems and compares it to pre-set standards. If any anomaly is detected, the system triggers a warning light on the dashboard and stores an error code in its memory. This code provides a specific clue about the nature of the problem. Reading these codes requires a special device known as a scanner. This device connects to the vehicle's onboard computer, retrieves the error codes, and translates them into understandable information. With this data, the technicians at your local dealer can accurately diagnose the issue and perform targeted repairs. What Are the Areas That Can Be Tested? Diagnostic tests report error codes for nearly all major vehicle components, including but not limited to the engine, transmission, brakes, fuel injection, coolant, and exhaust system. As you can see, these parts are crucial to your vehicle's overall performance and safety. So, don't just dismiss the check engine lights as mild annoyances. They can be a lifesaver! How Often Should You Get a Car Diagnostic Test? Like with health check-ups, car maintenance benefits from a proactive approach. This is because car issues tend to build up, often starting as small, manageable troubles before escalating to serious, costly problems. For instance, a failing thermostat can lead to overheating, which, if not addressed, can cause extensive engine damage. Scheduling regular tests as part of routine maintenance is, therefore, vital to keeping those expensive repair bills at bay. Should You Go to the Dealer For Diagnostic Tests? Diagnosing a car involves more than just plugging in the scanner and reading the codes. Sure, the codes provide a starting point, but understanding what they mean and how they affect your vehicle requires expertise. At our dealership, you benefit from technicians who have been trained and certified in your vehicle's make. They work with these models all day, every day, giving them an edge over other shops. Moreover, we have access to specialized software and tools, which means more accurate repairs and a faster turnaround time. Whether your vehicle's warning light is on or you're experiencing unusual symptoms, bringing your Ram to our dealership can help shed light on the issue.
