3 Signs That Your Jeep Needs a New Car Battery

Image via Snethkamp CDJR. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The battery is one of your Jeep's most important components but is also one of the shortest-lived. A failing battery can make starting more difficult or prevent your Jeep from starting at all. As your Jeep dealer, we want to tell you more about some signs you need to visit us for a new car battery. more Old Battery One of the main causes of battery failure is age, as the average life of a battery is three to five years. This short life is due to the breakdown of the chemicals inside the battery. These chemicals, particularly sulfuric acid, are essential for the battery to store and supply electricity. As the chemicals weaken, the battery's storage capacity drops, and recharging becomes more difficult. While we can't prevent the battery from weakening, we can test it to determine its remaining life. We advise testing your battery once a year, starting from the third year. Our technicians will connect your battery to our computerized battery tester. This tester subjects the battery to various tests to identify any weaknesses. If it fails the test, we can install a new battery in minutes. Battery Warning Light The battery warning light illuminates due to any issue that affects the electrical system. Each component in the system has a sensor connected to it, and these sensors monitor their connected components for signs of trouble. The sensors can detect minute changes in the behavior of the components, allowing you time to get them checked or replaced. This light could mean your battery is tweaking, but it could also signal issues like a failing alternator, damaged wiring, or a blown fuse. If you experience random electrical glitches or dim headlights when the engine is switched off, a failing battery is the most likely culprit. We'll investigate and repair or replace the cause of the problem. Battery Corrosion As we saw above, the chemicals inside a battery gradually break down. As the sulfuric acid breaks down, it releases hydrogen gas. The hydrogen molecules will escape the battery case and enter your engine. They combine with sulfur molecules, released into the engine due to the presence of fuel, and form hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a corrosive chemical and is drawn to the battery terminals. This chemical forms an acidic salt around the terminals and corrodes them. The corrosion weakens the battery even further as it greatly reduces recharging rates. We can clean the corrosion, but it will continue to return if the battery fails. Once we replace the battery, the corrosion will stop. A weak battery could fail you when you least expect it.

The Ultimate Guide to Dodge Tire Care and Maintenance

Image via Snethkamp CDJR. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Healthy tires are vital for safe driving, but they will slowly wear down due to age, environmental factors, and possible issues with mechanical issues. Tire maintenance involves regularly checking your tires for signs of damage, as any issue detected when it starts can prevent tire damage. As your Dodge dealer, we'd like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for new tires. more Inflation Problems Correctly inflated tires perform better and last longer. Your front and rear tires have specific pressure requirements for optimum performance, and their correct pressure is listed in your car manual. It's also marked on a plate or sticker on the inside door jamb of the front passenger door. Underinflated tires will suffer increased wear and tear on the tread edges and are more likely to develop leaks. Overinflated tires, in contrast, show increased wear on the center of the tread as the higher pressure causes the tread edges to lift slightly off the road. An overinflated tire has a greater chance of a blowout as the increased pressure stretches the rubber thinner than it should be. Our technicians can easily correct your tire pressure and replace any damaged tires. Bald Tires A bald tire appears almost smooth, like an egg, and it's extremely dangerous to drive on. The tread allows the tire to correctly grip the surface, making braking easier and faster and allowing you to drive and corner with ease.  As time passes, the tread slowly wears down due to surface friction, and this wear will increase if there are undiscovered tire pressure or alignment issues. The smooth surface of a bald tire provides no traction with the surface, and it can easily skid on wet, muddy, or icy surfaces. In addition, bald tires are illegal, and you can face a citation. If one or more of your tires appear smoother than they should, visit our service department. We'll check your tire and can advise if it's still healthy or needs replacement. Tread Wear Bars Tread wear bars are a warning system built into your tires. They appear as horizontal ridges that run perpendicularly through the tire tread. They're invisible on a new tire but will slowly become visible as the tread wears down. If you feel wear bars and they're almost level with the tread, your tires are nearing the end of their life. If the wear bars are worn, your tread is less than the minimum 2/32" thickness required for legal and safe driving. We'll examine your tires and replace any that have worn down. If you have worn or damaged tires, contact us today at Snethkamp CDJR in Redford, MI.

The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe sitting atop a dusky mountain peak

Electrifying the Trail: The 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe

Image via Snethkamp CDJR. Since its debut, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has been a top-choice midsize SUV for commuters and trailblazers alike. After several decades on the market, it's evolved to meet the needs of today's environmentally-conscious drivers, and the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe seamlessly blends hybrid technology with the tough off-road capabilities that make Jeeps so popular among adventure lovers. more Basics About the 2024 Grand Cherokee 4xe The 2024 edition of the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe takes the standard Grand Cherokee and swaps the V6 engine for a hybrid powertrain. It's a midsize SUV that seats up to five people and comes with many comfort features for everyone to enjoy. It features an 8-speed automatic transmission with four-wheel drive and sequential shift control with steering wheel controls so you can adapt your drive to meet conditions on and off the road. In addition to the base trim, there are five more trim levels available: Trailhawk, Carb State Edition, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve. Offroad enthusiasts might want to consider upgrading to the Trailhawk for features like Quadra-Drive II for a 4x4 system that's always active and can transfer up to one hundred percent of available torque to a single rear wheel when needed, giving you extra confidence in most weather conditions. Power Meets Performance If you're wondering how the power of the turbocharged hybrid stacks up compared to the usual V6 engine, you might be surprised to learn that the plug-in hybrid powertrain offers even more power and speed. It delivers up to 375 horsepower, which is 72 more than the V6, and gives you 210 lb-ft more torque for increased speed and better performance for low-speed off-roading. With this kind of power at your fingertips, you can go almost anywhere your heart desires. You can select from three different driving modes: Hybrid, Electric, and eSave. Hybrid Mode provides maximum horsepower by combining the power of the turbo engine with the electric motor. In Electric Mode, you'll still enjoy instant torque when you accelerate, but with nearly zero tailpipe emissions, and eSave Mode does the opposite by going all-in with the engine to reserve battery power for later. Interior Convenience Enjoy the extra breeze when you open the sunroof with express open/close activation, or keep the windows up and use the voice-activated, automatic dual-zone front air conditioning to keep cool on your drives. Heated front seats will keep you cozy while traversing colder conditions, and the 8-way power-adjustable driver seat takes care of your whole-body comfort at any temperature.

The Role of Diagnostic Testing in Ram Maintenance

Image via Snethkamp CDJR. Your Ram is the ideal companion in every way. One way it shows this is by communicating when something's not right. 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.

Chrysler Detailing 101: How to Keep Your Car Looking Showroom Fresh

Image via Snethkamp CDJR. Nothing beats the feeling of driving a brand new vehicle out of the Chrysler dealership, we know. That's why we compiled this easy to follow guide for detailing your vehicle, so you can hang on to that sense of joy for even longer. more Exterior Clean the Body Perhaps the most obvious step, but undoubtedly one of the most important, you should kick off your cleaning process by washing the body of your car. Make sure you're hitting the trim, the lights, and any additional features you might have. You can use a dedicated car cleaner, or a bucket of warm water and dish soap. Wash the Wheels Although wheels are arguably the dirtiest part of any car, too many people overlook the importance of washing them. Spray a wheel cleaner onto the rubber, allowing time for it to set. Use a bristle brush to scrub the dirt away and rinse. Your rims can be cleaned with a metal cleaner or glass polish. Shine the Windows A good way to finish the exterior and begin the interior is to clean your windows, inside and out. Coating the entire surface in glass cleaner and wiping side-to-side can help prevent streaking on the glass. Make sure to roll the window down slightly to clean the edges. Interior Start at the Top You should begin your interior cleaning process by wiping down your dashboard, steering wheel, and center console. You can use a cleaning putty to get into hard to reach areas, like cupholders. Starting this way means if any dust or debris falls to the floor, you won't have to redo areas you've already finished. Scrub the Seats Once you've gotten all the hard surfaces shined, it's time to move to the seats. Leather seats can be easily cleaned with a small towel and spray cleaner. For cloth seats, you can use a handheld soft-bristle brush in a circular pattern to bring any dust to the surface, then go over them with a vacuum. Finish with the Floors Now that everything up top is looking fresh, it's time to finish the job. Remove your floor mats and give them a good shake outside to get rid of any large debris. If you want to wash them with water and soap, make sure to allow plenty of drying time before placing them back in your car. Vacuum out the interior carpet, making sure to get the often overlooked areas, like underneath the seats. Ready to find a new vehicle and use these tips to keep it feeling new for years to come?
