7 Signs Your Mitsubishi Needs a New Car Battery

Mitsubishi vehicles may be among the top ten brands in the automotive business, but even the best cars will need servicing at some point. Are you wondering whether you need radiator service at Heritage Mitsubishi, your Morrow Mitsubishi dealer? Find out below! Overheating Overheating is one of the most significant indicators that your Mitsubishi's radiator needs to be serviced. Whether you're driving fast or slow, short or long distances, if your Mitsubishi consistently overheats and the temperature gauge continues to rise, the cooling system components or radiator fan are likely faulty. If that's the case, the best thing to do is to pull over and allow your vehicle to cool down. Then, turn on your car and bring it to our dealership so it can be properly looked at and repaired. more Leaking Coolant The next time you park your car, wait a few minutes and look underneath it. If you notice any puddles of a pink, green, or yellow hue, your coolant is likely leaking, and your Mitsubishi radiator may need to be repaired or replaced. White Smoke Coming From Exhaust Seeing smoke in your rearview mirror is never a good thing, and one cause may be your radiator. An internal coolant leak can cause white smoke to come from your tailpipe. If you notice this, pull over right away and check your coolant levels while your car cools down. If you see your coolant levels are low and white smoke is coming from the exhaust, but there are no puddles underneath your vehicle, there's a high chance your radiator needs fixing at our dealership. Smoke Coming From Under the Hood Smoke coming from under the hood is another signal of trouble. While there may be several potential causes, the main one is a malfunctioning radiator that needs repairing or replacing. Smoke may pour out from the hood because the radiator cannot cool down. At some point, it overheats and begins to produce smoke. Allow your vehicle to cool down before bringing it into our dealership for a check-up by one of our highly trained team members. Developing Rust Last but not least, one easy way to tell whether your radiator needs servicing is to inspect it. Pop the hood and find the radiator. If you notice signs of rust, it is likely connected to other underlying problems you may be having (or will soon be having) with your vehicle. A rusty radiator is a no-go and needs to be replaced ASAP. Does your Mitsubishi radiator need servicing?

Neglecting tire inspection can have serious consequences, including an increased risk of accidents. Here are some indicators that it might be time to visit our Tire Center at Heritage Mitsubishi-Morrow for new tires. Abnormality in Shape Does your tire have any visible bulges, gouges, or cracks? It may indicate that your tire walls have weakened or are unstable. If your tire looks abnormal, bring it in to be inspected by a professional. more Worn Treads The depth of your tire's tread is crucial for maintaining traction on the road. To check the tread depth, you can perform a simple test known as the penny test. Take a penny and insert it into the tread with Lincoln's head down in the tread. If his head disappears, then your tires should be fine. If you can clearly see his full head, then it means that the tread is too low. Alternatively, many modern tires have built-in wear bars that indicate when the tread has worn down to a specific depth. These wear bars can be found across the groove of the tire. If the tread is worn down to the level of the wear bar, it is time to replace the tire. Lost Air Pressure Proper tire inflation is essential for optimal performance and safety. Tires naturally lose air pressure over time, with an average deflation rate of about one pound per square inch (PSI) per month. Underinflated tires can lead to increased heat buildup, decreased fuel efficiency, and premature tire wear. Extreme temperatures can also affect tire pressure when it fluctuates. Varying temperatures can accelerate tire wear and cause other potential safety hazards. Noise and Vibration If you experience a thumping sound or vibrations while driving, it may indicate tire-related issues like a flat, something stuck in the tire, or inadequate pressure. But vibration originating from under the seats can also suggest rear tire balance problems, while vibrations felt through the steering wheel may indicate suspension issues. Any significant vibration or thumping should be addressed promptly by a professional. A smooth and comfortable ride is crucial for your safety and overall driving experience. Age If your tires are past their expiration date, then they should be changed. Tires typically stay in good working condition for about six years. Tires can last longer than this if you take good care of them. However, it's recommended that tires should not be used any longer than 10 years. While your tires may appear to be in good shape on the outside, they can be structurally unsound on the inside, since rubber degrades over time. If you suspect your tire might need replacing, visit Heritage Mitsubishi-Morrow right away and have one of our experienced technicians take a look.
