Five Signs it’s Time for Chrysler Transmission Service

The transmission in your vehicle has an important job, so knowing the signs that it needs maintenance or repairs is a good idea. If you notice any of these common indicators of mechanical trouble, it may be time to schedule a Chrysler transmission service appointment at Bernard’s Northtown Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM.

Slipping Gears

If your car suddenly switches into another gear without your input, that could be a significant safety hazard. It’s also a sign that you need transmission service immediately.

A Burning Smell

An odor like this is always a cause for alarm. If you smell something burning while your car is in motion, it could be a sign of a problem with your transmission. It could also signify another mechanical issue, so scheduling a service appointment is a good idea.

Noises in Neutral

If you put your car in neutral and hear odd noises, there could be a problem with your transmission. Other unusual noises, like humming or whining, could also indicate a mechanical issue.

A Fluid Leak

Your car shouldn’t be leaving behind puddles of fluid. If you notice a puddle underneath your vehicle and the liquid is red and smells sweet, that’s a transmission fluid leak that needs to be addressed.

You Can’t Switch Gears

If you can’t switch gears at all, then you probably need transmission service. An especially common problem is an inability to change from park to drive, but any issue switching gears needs to be handled.
