Three common signs of a bad transmission

Signs of a bad transmission

Transmission troubles are fairly common unfortunately, but the good news is there are a variety of ways to catch the problem before it turns into an expensive repair. Interested in learning more? Keep reading and we’ll fill you in on all the important details!

Signs of transmission trouble

1. Stalled or delayed gear shifts

One of the best ways to tell your transmission is going out is a delayed or stalled gear shift. This sign is pretty hard to miss since you’ll most likely feel a jerk in the car as you accelerate. If you drive a manual, you may also find that it’s physically difficult to get the gears to shift when your transmission is failing.

2. Transmission fluid leak

The transmission is designed to completely enclose the transmission fluid, so if you notice a bright red fluid under your vehicle, you’re going to want to have the transmission checked out by a professional. The easiest way to tell if it’s transmission fluid is by putting cardboard under your car and keeping an eye on the color of the leaking fluid. Transmission fluid will typically be bright red in color, though it may also have a dark red appearance.

3. Dashboard warning light

Most vehicles have highly advanced systems in place to detect problems before the problem is even noticeable to the driver, so if your check engine light illuminates, you probably don’t want to ignore it. Identifying a problem early is key to saving yourself some money on transmission repairs, so make sure you pay attention to what your vehicle is trying to tell you.

OnStar and GM are breaking records for customer service

OnStar and GM are breaking records for customer service

Looking up at the night sky, you can see a billion stars. What you can’t see are the more than one billion customer requests that OnStar has fielded since their inception almost twenty years ago.

In 1996, the first OnStar system premiered on GM vehicles. Now, with over a million GMC, Buick, Cadillac and Chevy vehicles in Canada and North America outfitted with OnStar, it’s no wonder that OnStar and GM are breaking records for customer service.

The original OnStar service was a lot more basic than OnStar 4G LTE available on new models like the 2016 Chevy Equinox or 2015 GMC Sierra. The original service would allow drivers and passengers to place a call from the vehicle if the airbags deployed. OnStar used, and still uses, GPS and cellphone connective technology to allow customers to get directions on the road, reach out for help in emergencies or even digitally make a diagnostic on their vehicles.

Man in GM vehicle activates OnStar

Today the service is even better. Today you can link your mobile device to a vehicle-generated hotspot and enjoy the internet wherever you are, as well as many other great features available on many new GM vehicles. While OnStar cannot (yet!) drive your vehicle for you, it can help with pretty much anything else.

In over one billion requests, OnStar has connected people to emergency services after accidents, guided people to delicious restaurants, and remotely slowed stolen vehicles during high speed chases. OnStar personnel have even helped deliver babies!

In the years to come, OnStar is likely to continue offering great customer service, and help with a billion more little parts of daily life. And Craig Dunn Motor City is glad to continue offering the service in a multitude of new cars, trucks and SUVs for your safety and driving pleasure.

How can I drive safely in the snow?

Tire on a snowy road

Tips for safe winter driving

As the snow starts to pile up, it is important to remember some safety tips for driving on snowy or icy roads. That is why we have created a list of tips for safe winter driving. This list will offer some suggestions that will help you stay in control of your vehicle. Let’s get started. 


READ MORE: Easy Ways to Prepare your Car for Winter


Car covered in snow

Drive Slowly

Perhaps the most important safety tip of this entire list is to slow down. If you are going fast down the road and hit a patch of ice, then it is easier to slip and lose control of your vehicle. This is especially true when turning, so take it slow so you can reach your destination safely.

Roads

Map out your route to wherever you are going and try to avoid back roads. Snow plows don’t always reach these less used roads so avoiding these roads is a great way to avoid hazardous driving conditions. If you can’t avoid using unplowed roads, then you should drive slowly and cautiously.

Maintenance

As the snow falls, you should do some basic maintenance on your vehicle to make sure it is running in top shape. If your brakes are squeaking or the brake pedal is stiff, you should see if your brake pads need to be replaced. This is important for keeping control of your vehicle, especially when other drivers brake unexpectedly.


READ MORE: How to stay safe on a road trip


As you can see, there are many things to keep in mind to help you drive safely in the snow. We hope these tips for safe winter driving help. If you would like to learn about any of our available Chevy, Buick, or GMC models, check out our online inventory and schedule a test drive with us at Craig Dunn Motor City today.

Chevy Buick GMC Safety Features

From the very structure of the vehicle to available advanced active crash prevention features, the safety advantages on Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles offer a high degree of protection. Many vehicles offer as many as ten airbags for surround protection in the case of a crash. Most GM vehicles also come with several months complementary OnStar support, which includes the ability to notify emergency services in the case of a crash. Here are a few more safety features available on GM vehicles.

blind spot warnings make passing safer on the highway
a rear cross traffic alert warning lets you know that someone is behind you as you try to leave a parking space

Rearview Camera

Standard on many models, the rearview camera can help with parking and backing up by giving you an unobstructed view behind your vehicle. It can be especially useful watching for children.

Blind Spot Warnings

This feature will notify drivers if there is another vehicle in their blind spot. This can prevent someone trying to pull into a lane when they can’t see, or don’t notice, a car beside them.

Rear Cross Traffic Alerts

This feature greatly simplifies backing up. Your vehicle will warn you if a car is coming up behind you as you are pulling out of a parking space, which means fewer accidents.

Lane departure warnings and lane keeping assistance on GM vehicles
Forward collision alert on a GMC vehicle alerts drivers of impact

Lane Keeping Assist

Many Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles are available with lane keeping alerts and lane keeping assistance. These warn you if you are drifting out of your lane on the highway, and, in some cases, will help gently steer you back into the correct lane to avoid collisions.

Forward Collision Alert

With forward collision alert, and the even more advanced automatic braking, drivers can be warned of possible collisions in time to minimize or avoid impacts. With automatic braking, a vehicle will even begin to stop on its own when it senses a possible forward impact.

The exact features available on a given model vary wildly, but most of these are available on at least one trim level of all the Chevy, Buick and GMC vehicles available here at Craig Dunn Motor City. Other exciting feature options include a Safety Alert Seat and the new Back Seat Notification on the 2017 GMC Acadia.

Contact a Craig Dunn Motor City team member today to learn more about what safety features are available on GM vehicles.

What is a Head-Up Display?

GM Head-Up Display

Each year, the automotive industry comes up with new technologies that help drivers. Technology can help with fuel efficiency, safety, entertainment or simply keep the driver informed. There are a variety of new and exciting technologies to explore and they differ from brand to brand. One of these developments is the head-up display (HUD). This feature is available on many GM vehicles and it helps drivers to keep their eyes on the road while still staying informed. Let’s take a look at the history of the GM head-up display.

General Motors first began developing the head-up display back in 1965. Each decade since, it has gotten more and more developed. These systems play an important role in maximizing driver’s attention. The system projects important information onto the windshield and in the driver’s line of sight. Instead of looking at gauge clusters and infotainment screens, drivers can just glance at the head-up display directly in front of them. Recently there have been many improvements in the system to help drivers even more.

For starters, the screen has been simplified. Drivers can now select from screens that focus on navigation, audio information, a tachometer or a speedometer. The HUD screens are now tailored for each individual driver. GM has also improved the overall look of the HUD. It now has easy-to-read graphics with fine lines and distinct fonts. Icons have been simplified and lines must be at least four pixels wide. The HUD also features easy-to-use controls that are located on the steering wheel. You can interact with both the HUD and information centre with the same set of controls.

If you are interested in learning more about the GM head-up display, schedule a test drive at Craig Dunn Motor City in Winnipeg MB. We have a variety of vehicles already equipped with the HUD system so you can see how it works in person. Learn more about all the features and vehicles offered at Craig Dunn Motor City.
