Have you ever tried to hit the road and realized that your Jeep® won't start? It is certainly an unwelcome surprise. We’re highlighting the steps you should take at Fields Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Glenview so that you can be prepared.
Check Your Fuel Level
Accidents happen. Even with low fuel reminders, not having gas is one of the most common reasons that a vehicle won’t start. Before you start poking around under the hood, we encourage you to check your fuel level.
Test the Battery
A dead battery is another common culprit. If your vehicle is making a clicking sound but won’t start, that typically signals a dead battery. If your battery has died, you’ll need another power source, such as another vehicle, to jump-start your vehicle.
Check Your Battery Terminals
Loose or corroded battery terminals could also be to blame. While those can’t always be fixed, you can try to move or jar them to get your vehicle to start. Then, you’ll need to get your vehicle in for repairs or a replacement.
Call Roadside Assistance
If all else fails, it’s time to call Jeep Roadside Assistance. Many new vehicles include complimentary Roadside Assistance, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It protects you if your vehicle won’t start, even if it’s simply a human error.
Jeep 24-Hour Roadside Assistance includes:
- Jump-start assistance
- Fuel delivery
- Lockout assistance
- Flat tire change
- Towing to the nearest authorized Jeep dealer (if the vehicle is inoperable)
