Check Engine Light

Let Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Help When You See a Dashboard Light Appear

Your vehicle’s dashboard lights are clear indicators that something needs to be quickly addressed. From your engine to various fluids and electronics, a dashboard light appearing suddenly means you should have the team at the Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Service Center do a thorough diagnosis and associated repair as quickly as possible. If you’re uncertain about what a new light means, we will be happy to share with you information about likely culprits for a specific warning. We also encourage you to schedule an appointment by calling 989-459-3196 to speak with a service representative about the issue. 

Noteworthy Dashboard Lights That Demand Immediate Attention

Check Engine Light – This light is fairly self-explanatory in its appearance as it looks like a conventional engine. The cause of the light appearing can vary from something minor to something major such as a cylinder issue. Regardless of the severity, please have our Service Center team look at your vehicle as soon as possible if this light pops on. You don’t want to assume that it’s something minor and have it wind up being significant. 

Coolant Temperature Warning – If you can see a light that looks like a thermometer floating in a wave of water, this is a warning sign that the temperature your vehicle’s engine is reaching is becoming dangerously high. This could be a result of anything ranging from a coolant system leak to an issue with the radiator itself. With the inherent risk of running your vehicle while this light is on, please pull over safely if it comes on and contact us immediately. 

Oil Pressure Warning Light – Another one of the fairly obvious lights when trying to diagnose the issue from a glance, this one looks like a standard oil can and will typically have a drop of oil coming out of the spout. From low oil levels to a potential leak in the engine, this is another light you shouldn’t delay having fixed as quickly as possible to prevent long-term damage to your engine.

Tire Rotation - Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Tire Rotation Made Easy at Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram

Tire rotation is an important service to make sure you are consistently handling on your Jeep. There are a variety of reasons why routine tire rotation is a vital component of maintaining peak overall vehicle health. Not only can you make sure that you keep your current set of tires as evenly worn as possible, but you also prevent long-term wear and tear on other areas of your Jeep such as the frame and the shocks. Schedule an appointment today with the Service Center at Thelen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to have our knowledgeable technicians get your tires properly rotated. 

Tire Rotation Information

How Many Miles or Months Between Tire Rotation Services? –

Depending on how you prefer to measure your service timeframes, we have recommendations for mileage and months between tire rotations. Mileage-wise, it is advised to have your tires rotated between 5,000 and 7,500 miles after your last rotation. In terms of time, this roughly translates to between six and eight months depending on how much you drive. If you have a Jeep equipped with the 4WD platform, we recommend having this service done more frequently. 

Why is Tire Rotation So Important for Your Jeep? –

When our Service Center technicians rotate the tires on your Jeep, we are placing tires with more wear on them to the spots that have less and vice-versa. Depending on the drivetrain your Jeep is fitted with, each tire is subjected to varying levels of force during daily operation. This quickly causes uneven tire wear if left unchecked for a long time. Uneven tire wear leads to less handling performance and can start causing long-term damage to the frame of your Jeep. By committing to a routine tire rotation schedule, you’ll not only get to experience top handling consistency, but you’ll also get to spend more time on your current set of tires without needing to replace them.
