The 2024 Grand Cherokee is not just any family vehicle but one of the most popular choices among American families because safety is one of Jeep’s top priorities. Among the 2024 Grand Cherokee’s advanced safety features are the multi-stage and knee bolster airbags and an array of driver assistance features such as active lane management, blind spot detection, cross path detection, hill start assist, pedestrian/cyclist emergency brakes, rain brake support, and full-speed forward collision warning.
It is equipped with child-friendly features such as speed-sensitive power locks that prevent children from opening doors while the car is in motion, as well as a rear object alert feature that reminds you to check the back seat before leaving the car.
Your safety and peace of mind while driving depend on the condition of your brakes. If your brakes aren’t in great condition, they can easily fail and lead to an accident. Watch out for these signs of brake issues and visit our CDJR dealer for a comprehensive brake service.
1. Noisy Brakes
If you hear grinding, squealing, or squeaking noises when you apply the brakes, the pads are worn and need replacement. The noise occurs when the brake pads’ friction material wears down, causing the metal backing to grind against the rotors. If you don’t replace the worn brake pads, the rotors and calipers will start to wear out as well.

In general, parts of your suspension system (such as shock absorbers) can last for 50,000 to 100,000 miles when the vehicle is well-maintained with routine maintenance. You may need to schedule suspension service at your Jeep dealer if you notice changes in how your Jeep handles cornering, road holding, and road isolation.
If you’re planning an off-road adventure, then it’s important to ensure your Jeep is ready for rocky roads, mud, and other challenging terrain. You should schedule a tune-up for your Jeep before any major trips to check your suspension, as well as critical components like your battery, tires, and brakes.
During service for your suspension, a certified Jeep mechanic will thoroughly examine your vehicle’s suspension system. The main parts of your suspension are the shock absorbers, struts, coil springs, ball joints, and control arms. Worn-out parts will be replaced during service. Your mechanic may complete your service by checking other parts connected to your suspension system, such as brakes and tires.
The Jeep Compass debuted in 2007 and is now in its second generation. It’s a compact five-door crossover SUV that offers good cargo capacity, towing capacity, and offroad capabilities, all inside a smooth-lined exterior. As your Jeep dealer, we want to take you on a trip as we explore some of the features of the 2024 Jeep Compass.
Engine, Transmission, and Drivetrain
The Jeep Compass is available in five trim versions, featuring a 2.0L inline-4 DOHC Di turbo engine with automatic stop/start. This sturdy and powerful engine gives more than enough power for everyday needs. It provides 200 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque that will take you from 0 mph to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds.
This engine is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 drivetrain. If you choose the Trailhawk trim, you get increased off-road capabilities due to its Rock mode and a lower gear ratio. Rock mode transfers power to wheels that have a firm grip on the surface, making driving over difficult terrain much easier.
Does Your CDJR Vehicle Need a New Car Battery?
Several factors determine the lifespan of your vehicle’s battery. While some batteries may last a few years, others can serve you well for five to six years. The quality and type of battery, severe temperature, vibrations, and the age of the battery all affect its lifespan. Below, your Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealer assists you in determining whether you need a new car battery.
Lifespan
As time passes, car batteries tend to deteriorate gradually, which ultimately leads to insufficient power to run the electronics or start the engine. We highly recommend getting your battery tested by one of our technicians every year if it is over three years old to avoid unsuspected breakdowns. If the battery is older than five years, consider replacing it to avoid getting stuck with a dead battery.

It’s risky to ignore signs of damage or excessive wear and tear in your tires. When proper tire maintenance is neglected, tire failure becomes a very real danger on the road. If you even notice the following issues with your tires, visit our dealership in Kilgore, TX right away for a set of new tires.
Winter Weather
One common good reason to change tires is when the cold winter months are nearing. During winter, road surfaces become increasingly wet, icy, and slippery. Patches of packed snow require the specially designed treads of winter tires to break into the snow and remain close to the tarmac.
On top of this, the cold can make summer and all-season tires too brittle to remain fully flexible. Designed with special pliant and cold-resistant rubber, winter tires maintain far better traction when the temperature drops.
