If you have a sport with roll up windows and no safety options, not very. In fact like the poster above who said he doesn't bother to connect them on his Sport, there isn't a reason to plug them in other than perhaps enable the interior light to come on when ou open the door. But in my case...

We all make mistakes. The problem arises when the dash cam records you making a mistake. Then it can be subpoena'd and the video used against you. I guess the ideal situation is to have a dash cam that is not visible to anyone else. So you use its footage when you choose to.

A year or so ago, there was guy selling upgraded harnesses. I'm desperately trying to find him. I ve had my doors on and off probably 15 times this summer and think it's just a matter of time before I screw up a pin. The idea was that you plugged his harness into the connector on the...

yay. A man with a brain!!! There is no way to make any kind of console mount holster a good thing. For the simple reason that the gun should be on you if you are in the car. If you aren't man enough to carry your favorite gun on you while driving (like me) then move down a size and learn to...

Yes, the dash came provided some nice info here. But it did not save the day. There were multiple witnesses including another victim. So this would still have been a slam dunk as far as insurance and the police are concerned. Where this may REALLY pay off is if you sue the guy for...

If people can't grasp that there are simply dealerships that do better than others working with 4xe models, then just ignore them. It's common sense. As someone who has worked as a service writer, I can tell you that it may be a well trained, tech. It may be a service manager who makes good...

I haven't read all 9 pages of people ridiculing you. But I'll pile on. 37s, Coil overs, and one ton axles leave a lot of opportunity for overloading the transfer case or at least loading it in a way it wasn't designed for. And no, your warranty isn't "voided". If you have a. problem with...

Sorry. I should have updated this. Wheel/Tire are sold.

Yes, but birds have to manage induced drag since they are making lift. Set the wing's angle of incidence at 0 deg and it's probably much more aerodynamic than a cow. ;-)

The companies I mentioned, including Hyundai are heavily incented to put loaners out. So it's not just the dealers doing it on their own. 1) service reps push dealers to have loaners. 2) manufacturers pay bonus money to dealers based on service department customer satisfaction. Loaners...

It's great that Stouffville took great care of you. Given that Jeep corporate has chosen that they don't want to support dealers giving loaners for their premium priced vehicles, it's good to see some dealers stepping up and filling in the gap. Companies like Hyundai, Acura, Volvo, and Lexus...

Get a service appointment for an oil change or something. When you drop the vehicle off mention that the paint is messed up. Ask them to add it to the repair order and have the technician inspect the truck. Now you have a repair order that documents the problem while you are within...

I lost the key fob to my Jeep. I'm wondering if I can replace the huge, ridiculous fob that it comes with the smaller smoother Grand Cherokee fob? On this specific model the controls are exactly the same. Any Jeep techs on this forum that can comment?? Thanks, Don p.s. YES I know...

You are 100% exactly right. Given the current state of the art in automobiles as well as the current state of charging infrastructure, the order of functional capability for most people is.. 1) Plug in hybrid - Most people will get roughly 90% electrification use if you have a PHEV with a...

I am not disputing what you say in any way. It's interesting, a few years ago Mercedes did an offset frontal crash test between an E class and a smart car. The E class literally pushed the smart car backwards and continued going forward. Tough the smart car did extraordinarily well all...

I can't disagree with you when you are talking about the very narrow perspective of high speed vehicle on vehicle accidents. When you hit an immovable object, the mass of the vehicle makes no difference. The other aspect is active safety you are more likely to be able to avoid an accident in...

The Prius is the finest automotive appliance ever made. If all you care about is getting from point a to point b as efficiently and safely as possible, it's hard to beat. A friend's dad lives out on Long Island and works in NY City as a union electrician. He's gone through 2 Priuses and is...

Where hybrids of any kind and PHEVs in particular shine is in city driving where speeds are low and constant stopping allow regenerative braking to recapture much of the kinetic energy the vehicle had. Highway cruising offers little benefit to hybrids. The Jeep this is especially true since...

Hybrids, including plug in hybrids, represent an intermediate step towards electrification. A PHEV is faster and more fuel efficient than a comparable ICE only vehicle, while suffering from zero hassles associated with a battery electric vehicle(BEV) like long charge times and inadequate...
