- Skipping brake fluid flushes allows moisture absorption, leading to soft pedal feel, reduced braking power, and potential brake system failure—especially dangerous when towing or off-roading.
- Neglecting differential fluid changes causes premature wear of gears and bearings, resulting in whining noises, loss of traction, and expensive differential replacement ($1,500–$3,000+).
- Ignoring transmission fluid inspections on the 8-speed automatic can lead to harsh shifts, slipping, or complete transmission failure—repairs exceed $3,000–$5,000.
- Skipping spark plug replacement at 100,000 miles causes misfires, reduced fuel economy, and potential catalytic converter damage on Pentastar and HEMI engines.
- Delaying suspension inspections on 4WD models used off-road can result in undetected ball joint or control arm failure, compromising steering control and safety.
- Neglecting cabin air filter replacement reduces HVAC performance and allows dust/allergens to accumulate, affecting interior air quality and defrost effectiveness.
Common issues at higher mileage
- 80,000+ mi
- Transmission shudder or delayed engagement on the 8-speed automatic; often caused by low or degraded transmission fluid—fluid inspection and possible exchange recommended.
- 100,000+ mi
- Water pump failure (Pentastar V6) causing coolant leaks and overheating; replacement typically required around 100,000–120,000 miles.
- 120,000+ mi
- Rear differential bearing wear producing grinding or whining noises; accelerated by towing or off-road use without regular fluid changes.
- 90,000+ mi
- HEMI V8 lifter/camshaft wear (often associated with the MDS cylinder-deactivation system), typically presenting as a persistent tick and misfire; inspection recommended if noise develops.
