Anytime your vehicle starts acting unusually, you’ll want to have it inspected. You want to make sure your vehicle is safe, and you don’t want to run the risk of doing serious damage. If you notice any of these following warning signs, make sure you schedule a Mopar® Dodge service appointment at Fields Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM Glenview.
Your Dashboard Warning Lights are On
There are a number of warning lights on your dashboard. They can signal that you’re overdue for an oil change, your tire pressure is low, you have an issue with your engine, and more. Your owner’s manual will have a guide letting you know what each icon means.
Your Brakes are Screeching
If you can hear your brakes when you come to a stop, that’s never a good sign. Typically, it means your brake pads have become too worn down, but it could be the cause of even more serious damage. For your safety, it’s important to have your brakes looked at to keep them working efficiently.
You Have a Fluid Leak
Do you see puddles in your garage or driveway? The fluids in your vehicle are crucial, so you need to have your car inspected for any leaks so you don’t run the risk of depleting your fluid completely.
The fluids in your vehicle include:
- Engine oil
- Transmission fluid
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Coolant
- Windshield wiper fluid
Smoke is Coming from Your Hood
If you ever notice smoke coming from under your hood, that could be cause for concern. It may be an issue with your engine or its electronics, engine oil burn-off, or a sign of an overheated radiator. No matter what the culprit is, it’s important to have it inspected.
