Can Jeep drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

How do I know if my Jeep drivetrain is damaged?

Hear noises toward the back of your Jeep Commander? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

How often will I need Jeep Commander differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician.

What causes a Commander’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Commander’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can you clear the Commander check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Commander's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Commander.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Commander?

If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your Commander, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.

Does my Commander drivetrain include the transmission?

The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your Commander is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
