Reset the "Oil Change Required" warning....HOW?
jkeaton replied to Xphyle's topic in Engine & Transmission
Seriously. You got an owners manual? -
SE is base model. No frills. Steel wheels and plastic hubcaps.
-
No tuners available.
-
Yep, people steal anything these days.
-
Whatever you do, dont clear the code before taking it in to the dealer. They need to be able to diagnose. Without the code, they wil send you on your merry way saying "unable to duplicate the problem".
-
Close to 60 here today but rainy and wet. That's something in the 15's to you Canadian folks, eh?
-
Without knowing the code, all we can do is guess. Disconnected wire, hose, vacuum line, etc.
-
Take it to any auto parts store. They will scan it for free. Buy yourself a code reader. You can get them for less than $20. Best tool you can have in your toolbox for modern day vehicles. The code will tell you exactly what's wrong.

Mine takes 6 as well. Every time I keep forgetting and only buy a 5qt jug and have to go back and by another quart which brings it right to the full mark. Iirc, owners manual says 6. And it's true, the days of "break in" oil that needs to be changed at 1000 miles are long gone.

No one here is a mind reader and we can only make assumptions based on the info provided. Perhaps if you had been more detailed In your first post on this forum we could skip the obvious dumb questions. Now that we know you did the oil change correctly, what is this "engine protection mode" you speak of? What are the warning lights displayed? If the check engine light is on, have you scanned for the codes?

If you can put a body lift on it, it is an SUV. If not? CUV. Simple as that.

Front End "Clunk" while Braking Over Bumps
jkeaton replied to JRodMTB's topic in Brake, Chassis & Suspension
Gotta love the techs that "dodge" their jobs...get it?? Dodge their jobs??? Lol. I crack myself up. -
No. Stay away from the whiners on the Facebook page. Only trolls go there. There's been a few on here who have had issues. We are on our second. Our 09 went 80k with only a few issues along the way. I would leave that group immediately.

Front End "Clunk" while Braking Over Bumps
jkeaton replied to JRodMTB's topic in Brake, Chassis & Suspension
Mine makes various clunks depending on what driving conditions. Not too concerned about it. I don't drive the vehicle enough to be able to replicate the sounds. So I'm not ready for a dealer visit yet. One of these days when the wife starts complaining about it I will look into it in more detail. -

I don't read CR. Cross-over Utility Vehicle. CUV's are built on car platforms (uni body construction). Tradition SUV's are built on truck platforms (body on frame construction). Although the lines are getting blurred. Even though technically wrong, most manufacturers end up calling them SUV's anyway because people don't associate with CUV's as terminology intended for their vehicle. And, most insurances don't really know how to classify them...lol. True SUV's are the ones like Tahoe, Yukon, Expedition, Excursion, Armada, etc, Built on frames originally meant for trucks (Silverado, F150, F250, Titan). The Ford Explorer is a good example, originally built on the Ranger truck frame, it was a true SUV in the beginning, now it is based off the Taurus car and is really a CUV, but Ford still calls it an SUV.

Wet shot.

Inspect it yourself then. Jack the front up and test it as shown in the video. If it's not too bad should be ok to drive.
-
How long have you owned it? Sounds like a ball joint. Not sure what you mean by it was just certified.
-
What year? How many miles?
-
Been through this. Cross over utility vehicle. Google the differences.

Not sure the point of linking a challenger forum here.....

What does your owners manual tell you? Oh wait....
