Here's your quick guide to the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica at your local Chrysler dealer! Power and Performance Brisk acceleration and effortless cruising at higher speeds come thanks to the Pacifica's naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 engine, which produces a robust 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The motor pairs with a 9-speed automatic transmission for quick and smooth distribution of power. Intelligent gear shifts allow the vehicle to achieve an EPA-rated fuel economy rating of 28 MPG highway. Towing capacity is also impressive at up to 3,600 pounds. more A front-wheel drive layout is standard, but almost every Pacifica trim lets buyers replace it with a responsive all-wheel drive system, constantly varying torque between both axles for optimal grip. The vehicle's well-tuned strut front suspension and trailing arm rear suspension keeps it planted and stable when taking tight turns. Passenger Cabin Undoubtedly, a big reason for the Pacifica's popularity is its cavernous and versatile interior that comes loaded with great features. Passenger volume sits at an incredible 165 cubic feet, and it provides buyers with the choice between an 8-seat configuration and a 7-seat configuration with 2nd-row captain's chairs. Available Stow n' Go seats can quickly and easily stow into a storage compartment hidden under the floor. A plethora of standard comforts includes active noise cancellation technology, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an 8-way power driver's seat with lumbar support.

With the available FamCAM, the display provides a view of the back rows, so that you can keep an eye on the youngsters. Also offered is voice-activated Alexa Built-in, a versatile app that does everything from providing weather reports to opening your garage door. Safety After tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Pacifica has earned a five-star crash safety rating. Airbags can be found in front, on the sides, and overhead. Added peace of mind comes from the standard forward collision warning system with active braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts, and lane departure alerts.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that nearly 200 fatal car crashes in the United States are caused by tire-related issues alone. The tires on your car allow you to drive safely by creating traction and gripping the road's surface. Tires with too little or too much air, low tread, or bulges can cause an accident. If you need new tires, the certified technicians at your Chrysler dealership can help you choose the right ones. An immediate sign that you need to get a new set of tires is if there is obvious damage. Over time, your tires will wear down, no matter how little or how much you drive. Chemicals on the road that are used to melt ice and snow, sunlight, and heat are just a few things that cause your tires to lose their flexibility. Once the rubber becomes rigid, it can crack, fail, and lose air. more Uneven Tread Patterns If you are rotating your tires consistently, they should be wearing at an even rate. If you notice that your tires are wearing unevenly, you need to get your vehicle into the dealership to have the problem diagnosed. Uneven wear can be caused by a lack of tire rotation, worn suspension or steering components, improper tire pressure, improper alignment, and more. Worn Tread The tread patterns on your tires are engineered to grip the road and divert water, keeping you from hydroplaning. If you don't have enough tread, the risks of hydroplaning skyrocket. Check your tires monthly to ensure that you have the tread you need to grip the road in emergency situations. Many tires are designed with tread wear bars. If you notice that the tread wear bars are even with the tread on your tires, get them replaced. Sidewall Bulges If you notice that the sidewall of your tire is bulging, you need to get it to your dealer as soon as possible. Bulges along the sidewall occur when there are breaks to the tire's inner liner. Bulges can rupture, creating unsafe conditions and causing accidents, Leaky Tires Tires tend to slowly deflate over time, think roughly 1 PSI per month, which isn't a huge issue. However, if you notice that your tires are deflating without warning or losing air at a faster rate, you may have developed a slow leak. Get your car into the dealership and have it checked out. Their certified technicians will be able to tell you if you need a replacement. If your tire pressure monitoring system light is illuminated on your dash, get an appointment to have your vehicle checked out as soon as possible. Give us a call at Bob-Boyd Chrysler Jeep Dodge to schedule an appointment with our certified service center, and be sure to ask about our shuttle service and rental vehicles today.

Sophisticated Safety Monitoring Also offered with this edition are many advanced safety-monitoring features, including Forward Collision Warning, Active Braking, and Pedestrian Emergency Braking, which, together, can alert you to potential collisions before they occur while automatically braking when necessary. Working in the background, Electronic Roll Mitigation and Electronic Stability Control sense when traction loss is occurring and can automatically correct it, while the Blind Spot Monitoring System alerts you to vehicles on either side of the truck that you might not otherwise notice.

Throughout owning an automobile, you’ll inevitably need to return to your local Jeep service Center to have parts replaced. One such part that often needs to be replaced is your car’s battery. A typical battery lasts 3 to 5 years, so if yours is more than three years old, then it's time for you to consider a new car battery. Signs It's Time for a New Car Battery from Your Jeep Dealer Dead Battery Imagine the following: you hop behind the wheel as normal, turn on the ignition, and nothing happens. It's likely that your car battery is unfortunately dead. A dead battery can usually be jumpstarted unless this issue has been ongoing. However, needing to jumpstart the battery isn't a good sign, so it’s best to get it checked by a certified technician. more Faulty Electronics If you’re heading home from work one evening and it's already dark, then you’ll soon be turning on your headlights. However, if they flicker or are too dim then they aren’t providing enough visibility to safely drive. While this could be a problem with the headlights themselves, it could also be battery related. When the battery is struggling to power the car, the electronics may become faulty or sluggish until the battery dies. Battery Corrosion When you pop the hood to do your regular inspection of your engine, you might notice a strange white substance on the metal parts of your battery. This is a form of corrosion and should be cleaned off immediately. If left untreated it can cause further damage to your car’s battery.  While a simple cleaning with a solution of baking soda and vinegar should get rid of it, we urge you to check under your hood again in a few weeks. If you notice new corrosion has already cropped up then it’s a sign the battery is continuously leaking acid, meaning you should go to your dealer for a replacement. Rotten Smell During one of your routine engine checks, if you lift your hood only to be hit with the overwhelming smell of rotten eggs then this could signal an issue with your battery. A late-stage symptom, you should schedule service immediately as sulfuric acid is a sign of battery leakage. Misshapen Battery Case As we’ve mentioned, it is vital to check regularly under your hood. If you find that your battery is no longer smooth and rectangular, but instead looks like it has swelled up, has bulges, or is cracked then your battery is already in the process of decomposition. No matter the age, this is an immediate sign that your battery needs to be replaced. Battery trouble can be inconvenient, but it's easy to avoid it by staying on top of changing your battery as needed. Come and check your battery’s health at Bob-Boyd Chrysler Jeep Dodge.

You're always welcome to visit our Dodge Service Center as part of your regular maintenance routine, to ensure your vehicle's longevity. Headlights are one car component that doesn't last forever, so after a few years, you'll need to visit your dealer to get new headlights. How Often Does Your CDJR Vehicle Need New Headlights? The average car's headlights will work best for their first five years. However, after six years you might start to notice that the headlights aren't as bright as they once were. While you can continue to drive with dimmer headlights, for your safety, we recommend replacing them every six years regardless. You never know when the lights may burn out. more Your driving habits can also influence how often you need to replace the bulbs in your headlights. If you rarely drive in conditions where you need to use the headlights, then your headlights will last longer. If you often drive at night or in low-visibility conditions, then you will need new bulbs for your headlights more often than the average driver. One Headlight Dies When one headlight dies, then the other one isn't going to be far behind. You should always replace both headlights at the same time, so visit the dealer when one of the headlights stops working. Your Headlights Flicker Flickering headlights can indicate battery or alternator problems, but the flickering can also be a sign that the bulbs are nearing the end of their life. Headlight bulbs aren't much different from the average lightbulbs you have in your house. You might have noticed that your lamp may flicker for a while before the bulb finally stops working entirely. Your Headlights Get Dim Your headlights won't be as bright as they were when new forever. They'll get a little dimmer over the years, and, at first, the dimming may not be noticeable. However, eventually, the dimming will be so significant that you'll know it's time to visit the dealer to get the bulbs replaced. Your Headlights Get Hazy Haziness can be a sign that your headlights will not last much longer. The light may be slightly yellowed or seem like it's scattered when illuminating the road. Sometimes a buildup of dirt and debris can cause haziness or yellowing, too, but your dealer is equipped to clean these covers and make sure a larger problem isn’t to blame. Get your headlights replaced at Bob-Boyd Chrysler Jeep Dodge. Changing headlights is super easy, so our mechanics will be able to get it done for you quickly.
