As modern cars use more and more electronic components, car batteries are becoming increasingly important. It often pays for drivers to know the early warning signs of a failing car battery. That way you can visit our CDJR dealership in Salisbury, NC for a new car battery at the first sign of trouble; you're less likely to get stranded somewhere unable to start your car. more Your Battery Looks Misshapen It's a good idea to pop the hood and inspect your battery every now and then. This way you'll know what a healthy battery looks like. If you ever notice any bulging or warping to the battery's casing, you'll need to have it replaced at once. The Battery Casing is Cracked When car batteries age or become damaged by extreme temperatures or internal electrical shorts, they can sometimes crack open and start to leak battery acid. This harmful substance smells strongly of sulfur. A leaking battery is no longer safe to use. The Terminals Look Corroded The metal connection terminals on the top of your battery should always be clean and free of corrosion. If you notice a serious buildup of white or green corrosion, it's unlikely the battery will be able to conduct electricity properly. You may need to have it replaced. Your Engine's Slow To Start As a battery starts to fail, the engine will often become harder to start in the morning. If the problem isn't resolved promptly, you may find your engine refusing to start at all without a jump-start. Your Electronic Components Falter If a few of the electronic components in your car start to have problems at the same time, your battery might be on its last legs. You can test your battery by turning on as many electronics as you can at once and seeing how it handles the workload. Your Headlights Lose Power When the electricity supply system in a modern car has problems, the headlights are usually one of the last parts to suffer. So if you find your headlights suddenly dimming one evening, have your battery checked at once before you find yourself driving with no lights at all. Your Local CDJR Dealer Suggests a New Battery While checking your vehicle's electrical system during your regular servicing visits, the technician will inspect and test your battery. They can then let you know how much longer your battery is likely to last. And if it's already worn out, they can install a new one right away. Have your car's battery tested or replaced with a new one today at Randy Marion CDJR of Salisbury's Service Center. We have a broad range of excellent new and used vehicles and courteous, professional sales and maintenance staff on hand, ready to help.

Brake failure plays a role in 22% of road accidents in the US. This shocking statistic should motivate any safety-conscious driver to pay keen attention to the condition of their brakes at all times. Let's take a look at some of the key warning signs that you might need to visit our local CDJR dealer in Salisbury, NC for brake repair without delay. more Screeching Sounds The most common indication of worn-out brakes is usually a high-pitched screeching sound. If this noise is very brief and then goes away, you might have simply had a little water on the brake pads, but if the screeching persists, it's likely that you need a new brake pad. Brake pads are designed to start screeching when the friction layer is almost worn out. Just as the squeaky wheel gets the grease, the screeching brake pad should get swapped out pronto. Grinding Sounds Any kind of grinding sound might point to a more serious problem with your brakes. When the friction layer of a brake pad wears away completely, all that's left is metal which scrapes directly on the rotor disc, causing the grinding noises. This sound may mean your rotor is being damaged and therefore your brakes require urgent attention. Reduced Responsiveness The number one job of your brakes is to stop your car promptly every time you press the brake pedal. If you ever sense a weakened stopping response, treat it as a serious issue and pull over to investigate the cause of the problem. With weakened stopping power, your brakes may have become overheated, which can sometimes result in temporary brake fade. Alternatively, you might have a brake fluid leak on your hands. Leaking Brake Fluid If brake fluid ever leaks from any of your brake lines, the brake pedal might feel suddenly spongy underfoot. You might also notice a yellow-brown liquid pooling under your vehicle. It's never safe to drive with a brake fluid leak. Tugging to the Side When a brake problem develops, it might cause the vehicle to tug to one side whenever the brakes are applied. If you ever notice a gentle veering to one side when braking, drive carefully to your nearest dealership to have your brakes inspected and repaired. How Your Local CDJR Dealer Can Check Your Brakes Each part must be checked carefully with an expert eye. All the brake lines also need to be examined for signs of leaking fluid and the brake fluid itself needs to be checked, topped up, or flushed and replaced. A technician at your local dealership can carry out a complete brake inspection any time you like. Have your brakes returned to perfect working order today by scheduling a service appointment at Randy Marion CDJR Salisbury. We have an extensive inventory of great new and used vehicles, plus courteous, knowledgeable staff on hand to resolve all your automotive-related needs.

Your new or used CDJR car relies on the transmission to transfer engine power to the driveshaft and wheels. If the transmission isn't working properly, your car won't shift gears smoothly, which can cause problems with acceleration and efficiency. You should get transmission repair from our CDJR dealership in Salisbury, NC to restore your vehicle's performance. more Burning Smell Under the Hood If you notice a burning smell coming from under the hood of your car, it means your transmission is overheating or the transmission fluid is burning. Low fluid levels or fluid that has broken down from heat can start to burn inside the transmission, creating a distinct, acrid smell. A burning transmission is on the verge of failure, so bring your vehicle to the dealership immediately for repairs. Delayed or Hard Shifts Does your vehicle hesitate before clunking hard into the next gear while driving? Delayed or hard shifts when accelerating point to issues with the transmission system's hydraulic valves or solenoids. These components regulate gear changes, so worn parts or low fluid levels can cause problems. The computer controlling the transmission can also cause delayed shifting if it has faulty sensors. Hard shifts place extra stress on the internal clutches and gears, accelerating wear and tear. So get the faulty components fixed immediately to protect your transmission system from premature damage. Overheating Transmission One sign of transmission trouble is the temperature gauge reading higher-than-normal temperatures. This can be caused by low transmission fluid, leaks due to worn seals and gaskets, damaged cooler lines, or a failing torque converter. Driving with an overheating transmission can damage the seals and break down the fluids in the system. Seek immediate repairs to get the temperatures under control. Slipping Transmission When you press the gas pedal to accelerate, your vehicle should engage the gears and pick up speed. If it feels like the transmission is slipping and not engaging the gears, there is internal wear and tear in the system. The potential culprits are worn-out clutch packs, broken gears, and damaged shafts. Replace the worn-out components, so the gears can engage smoothly when you accelerate. Unusual Noises Unusual whining, clunking, or humming noises coming from your transmission should raise immediate concern. A whining sound indicates problems with the bearings, while a clunking noise when shifting likely stems from worn synchronizers. A humming sound when driving at high speed indicates malfunctioning planetary gears. Don't wait for your transmission to fail to seek repairs. Use Randy Marion CDJR of Salisbury's online scheduling form to book your vehicle's service and repair appointment at our Mopar Service Center in Salisbury, NC. Our certified technicians have the diagnostic tools and expertise to restore your transmission and get it working smoothly again.

Tires can wear down over time, and without a fresh set, you might end up with an unexpected flat. Fortunately, your local CDJR dealer in Salisbury, NC can help you find the perfect new tires for your ride. more Tires, just like a snack lost at the back of the pantry, do have an expiration date, and you don't want to wait for them to fail before switching them out. Here are some signs that it might be time to replace those tires. They're Balding Remember those cool tread patterns your tires had when they were brand new? Those aren't just for show. They're critical for traction, especially in rainy conditions. As they wear out, you risk skidding and hydroplaning. To see if your treads are too low, do the penny test. Insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head pointing down. If you can see the top of his noggin, it's time for a tire change. Bad Vibrations If you're feeling more vibrations than usual when out on the road, especially when the roads are smooth, it could be a sign that your tires are wearing out. They may be wearing unevenly, or there might be some other internal problem. Either way, it's a cue to get them checked out. Their Age Is Getting Up There Rubber deteriorates over time, no matter how often you drive. If your tires are over six years old, it's generally a good idea to consider replacing them. Check the manufacture date on the sidewall: it's a four-digit number where the first to represent the week, and the last two, the year. Cracks, Bumps, and Blisters Just like the sunburn from your last beach trip, if your tires are showing visible blisters or bulges, it's a cry for help. These indicate potential weak spots that could lead to blowouts. And let's not even talk about cracks. If you see them, it's time!

The alternator is a key component of your engine. You may know that it plays a role in charging the car's battery, but it does other things, too, so recognizing the signs of a failing alternator is important. If you see any of these signs, head to our CDJR dealer in Salisbury, NC for alternator repair right away. more Dimming or Flickering Headlights We've all been there: we're driving at night and notice our headlights are not as bright as they once were. If your headlights dim when you're driving at low speeds or idling and brighten when you rev the engine, it's a potential indicator that your alternator may be on the outs. The alternator is responsible for providing power to the vehicle's electrical components, and a weakened output can directly affect the brightness of your headlights. Warning Lights and Unusual Noises Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles, are equipped with warning lights, and one of these is the battery or alternator light, which illuminates when the alternator isn't producing sufficient power. This light may be shaped like a battery, or it might read “ALT” or “GEN”. Seeing this is a clear sign that it's time to have your alternator inspected. Another tell-tale sign is a grinding or whining noise. The alternator has a variety of spinning parts including a rotor, a pulley, and bearings. Wear and tear on these parts can produce unusual sounds that should not be ignored. Electrical Failures and a Dead Battery Your car's alternator powers electrical components. When it starts to fail, it struggles to supply power to all the electrical parts, which may result in the power windows failing to move or the radio turning off. Remember that while batteries can die for a host of reasons, a common one is a faulty alternator. If you've recently replaced your battery and it's dead again or not lasting as long as expected, your alternator might be the culprit. Difficulty Starting or Frequent Stalling Your alternator assists in starting the car by supplying power to the spark plugs that ignite the gas in the engine. A dying alternator might not provide enough power, leading to difficulty in starting or frequent stalling. If you've ruled out other common issues like a faulty starter or fuel system issues, it's wise to turn your attention to the alternator. When it comes to the wellbeing of your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or Ram, don't take a gamble. Make an appointment with our Mopar Service Center at Randy Marion CDJR of Salisbury today. We have the skills and know-how to take care of whatever issues your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or Ram might be throwing at you.
