Used Dodge Durango SUV: What Is Your Car Trying To Tell You in Allentown

Dodge Durango

All vehicles can keep track of their own health and they try to communicate with the driver too. You have the lights on the dashboard and the OBD (onboard diagnostic system) to help with that. But that is where your Dodge Durango’s computer writes off a code which can only be understood by a good mechanic. Here is how you can tell for yourself what is really wrong with your car.

Tire Pressure

Your TPM (tire pressure monitoring) system will tell you whether one of your car tires is deflating and in some modern cars, the TPM system will also tell you which car tire it specifically is.

When You Need To Remove The Brakes

However, you do not need fancy sensors to let you know that your car brakes need a replacement. Your ears will be greeted by unimaginable squealing and screeching noises from below that remind you of scary movies. You can call your local dealership and let them know that your brakes have made your car a menace on the road and that you would like a brake change pronto. If you are buying the spares make sure that you do so with the same dealer you bought the car from, chances are that you might get a discount along with a quick repair job.

Maybe There Is Nothing Wrong With The Engine After All

Many times the engine light comes on and you get the chance of a lifetime of experiencing the unfortunate panic attack while you are driving 90 miles per hour and all of a sudden not sure whether hitting the brakes would make the engine explode or not. This is the most common, not to mention an annoying symptom of a loose car cap. So before you make your way towards the mechanic in frenzy, check if the gas cap is tightly shut. Or better yet just make a habit of checking it twice every time you leave the gas station.

Car Fluid Level

There are tons of various fluids in your car. We are talking brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant etc. The good news is that you don't need to pop the hood and check for each level there are sensors in your car that can show you this.
