Transmission Leak
A reddish puddle underneath your vehicle is a sign of a transmission leak. Transmission fluid is stored in the transmission pan at the bottom of the transmission and circulates through the system. The fluid provides the essential hydraulic power that enables the gears to shift, and it also lowers the temperature inside the transmission.
Most transmission leaks are caused by worn or damaged seals or gaskets. As transmission fluid leaks out, the remaining fluid will slow down. This increases the temperature in the transmission and can cause gears to seize up, and your transmission could fail. If you spot a leak, contact us ASAP, and we’ll investigate. We’ll replace the damaged seal and refill the transmission with new fluid.
Slow Shifting
Shifting problems will appear in a transmission that hasn’t been serviced. The fluid becomes thicker due to the accumulation of dirt and debris, and this slows down the fluid’s movement. The thick fluid can also block the transmission filter, which is designed to catch and remove contaminants from the fluid. Slower moving fluid will decrease the transmission response, and shifting will become slower.
The contaminated fluid can not only delay shifting gears but can even prevent the transmission from shifting at all. If the transmission can’t change gears, your vehicle won’t move. Our technicians can fix this problem by training the old fluid and flushing the transmission to clean any remaining residue. We then replace the transmission filter, seal the transmission, and refill the fluid.
Erratic Shifting
Correct timing is crucial for many systems in your vehicle, including the transmission. The gears should shift within seconds once ordered by the transmission computer. The shift is barely noticeable. If your transmission hesitates or jerks as it changes gear, or you notice the RPMs are rising but the gears haven’t shifted, you have a transmission problem.
This situation is usually caused by a lack of transmission fluid. Low fluid levels prevent the gears from moving as they should, and this can also result in damaged gears or gear teeth. We’ll examine your transmission, identify its cause, and then repair it and your gears will shift correctly again.
Transmission issues grow worse over time if they’re not repaired. Contact our service department today at Fury Motors St. Paul CDJR in Saint Paul, MN.

What Does Motor Oil Actually Do for My Jeep?
Like every internal-combustion engine, your Jeep is driven by thousands of explosions per minute taking place inside the engine block, which generate the power to tackle the trail or highway. But those explosions also produce excess heat and cause parts in your engine to move, generating wear. Clean, fresh motor oil lubricates the engine to prevent excess wear and helps remove excess heat to keep your engine performing at its best, cleaning away minor particles of debris in the process.
Why Does Motor Oil Need Changing?
Over time, engine oil can thicken and develop sludge, which can damage the engine. Particulates can build up over time, and engine oil simply breaks down over time no matter how well it’s made.
When Should I Change My Jeep’s Motor Oil?
You’ll know it’s time to change your oil under a few conditions:
- You’re coming up on either the mileage limit or time limit on your current oil change
- Your Jeep starts sounding slightly different, especially at idle or just after starting
- The maintenance indicator light or Uconnect notification pops up
- Your Jeep just isn’t performing quite the way you’re used to
What Type of Oil Do I Need?
Your Jeep’s owner’s manual will tell you what kind of oil it will run best on. But unless it specifies one or the other, you may be asked to choose between conventional or synthetic oil. Both have their benefits; conventional oil tends to be more affordable per change, for example. But there are many situations in which synthetic simply outperforms conventional oil. Driving in hot or cold environments, stop-and-go traffic, or high-traction situations like off-roading or wintry weather may make synthetic the better choice.Synthetic oil also tends to offer more miles and months between changes, making it a great fit for those with busy schedules.
Whether you’re pushing the limits out on the trail or simply enjoying the adventure of the daily commute, when it’s time to change your oil, it’s time to do it with your dealer. So book your next service appointment today at Fury Motors St. Paul in South St. Paul, MN, where our maintenance specialists will take excellent care of you and your Jeep.

At any one moment, there’s a good chance that your RAM truck is the most well-engineered vehicle on the road. This is because RAMs are specifically made to be workhorses; tough, resilient, and more than capable of handling whatever life throws at you when out in the field. However, to keep your thoroughbred truck in fantastic shape, seasonal RAM inspection by your RAM dealer is more than necessary, and here are all the key benefits you stand to gain from it.
Safety
Unfortunately, identifying potential issues with your truck’s safety systems can be challenging if you’re not an expert. A seasonal inspection by your dealer ensures your truck is not a safety risk by meticulously examining the vehicle for potential hazards, such as worn-out brakes, suspension issues, tire wear or damage, faulty or worn-out wheel bearings, steering system malfunctions, issues with the transmission or drivetrain, and any other culprit. This allows you to safeguard the well-being of others and protect your cherished truck from harm.
Reliability
Few things are as frustrating – or as embarrassing – as experiencing a random breakdown on the side of the road while driving your seemingly indestructible RAM. However, despite its built-in ruggedness, your RAM is still a machine, requiring regular maintenance to uphold its reliability. A seasonal inspection ensures that potential issues are identified and addressed before they escalate into inconvenient breakdowns, allowing you to rely on your RAM with confidence whenever the road calls.
Cost Savings
Three things are certain in this world: death, taxes, and the costs of doing repairs being many times over those of doing preventative maintenance. This is because when you do an inspection, small issues that can result in larger and costlier problems are resolved immediately.
Take, for instance, a faltering water pump; left unattended, it could trigger overheating, resulting in catastrophic damage like a cracked engine block, a compromised radiator, or worse, a full-blown fire. As you can see, doing regular inspections ensures that your RAM not only stays in optimal condition for longer but also shields you from the financial sting of major repairs.
Increasing Your Resale Value
In case you decide to part ways with your beloved RAM, a documented history of regular inspections will serve as a significant selling point, boosting its resale value. This is because unlike most sellers who simply want buyers to “believe” them, you will actually have documented proof of your RAM’s pampered upkeep and maintenance.
Does your hardy RAM require some tender love and care? Contact us today at Fury Motors South St. Paul in South Saint Paul, MN to take advantage of our special deal for seasonal inspections
Jeep vehicles are loaded with impressive technology, from off-roading tech to advanced safety and security features. We’re going to explore the latter so you can see just how safe the 2024 Jeep Compass truly is before you take it out for a test drive.
1. Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
Your Jeep Compass has radar sensors on the front of it. These sensors can tell when you’re approaching the car in front of you too quickly. Your vehicle will send you an alert so you can slow down or come to a complete stop. If your Compass detects that you may get into a collision, and you don’t respond in time, then it’ll apply the brakes and try to prevent the collision from happening.
2. Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection
If a vehicle travels into one of your blind spots, then your Compass will detect it and send you an alert to make sure you know it’s there. The regular blind spot monitoring occurs during normal daily driving, but there’s also a function that activates specifically when backing up. The cross path detection feature sends you an alert so you’re aware of obstacles and vehicles that could get in your way behind you or to the side of your vehicle as you reverse.
3. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go
Adaptive cruise control brings a mixture of convenience and safety to any long journey. You can preselect a distance that you’d like to keep from the car ahead of you, then cruise control will take care of adjusting your speed to maintain that distance.
4. Active Lane Management
It’s important to have a good, centered position within the boundaries of your lane, and that’s what Active Lane Management takes care of. It can detect when you unintentionally drift too close to the boundaries of your lane, and it’ll send you an alert when it detects that.
If needed, it can also help correct your vehicle’s position. Plus, if there’s a vehicle in one of your blind spots that you might collide with, then the Active Lane Management can apply corrective steering to help keep you safe in those situations, too.
5. Drowsy Driver Detection
It can be difficult to stay completely alert during long journeys, especially if you’ve been driving for many hours, and it’s getting late. Drowsy Driver Detection is an available feature that lets your car track your interaction with the vehicle. It identifies drowsiness in the driver and sends you an alert to keep you focused.
Do those safety features sound like something you want in your next vehicle? Come to Fury Motors St Paul CDJR in St Paul, MN to explore everything else the Compass has to offer.
