2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Jeep's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Jeep tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Grand Cherokee towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my Grand Cherokee's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Jeep Grand Cherokee transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Jeep. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Jeep Grand Cherokee? Yes, your Jeep Grand Cherokee can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Grand Cherokee ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who does Jeep Grand Cherokee transmission repair? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for Grand Cherokee transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Jeep Grand Cherokee if there is a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.
