Our Mazda dealership in Silver Spring, MD can handle any kind of service you need, from brake repairs to transmission service. We can take care of your vehicle during your regular scheduled maintenance visits, but we're also happy for you to come by any time your car is showing signs that it needs service. 1. Slipping Gears Slipping gears can be very frightening. It happens because your transmission doesn't shift at the correct time, making it harder for you to stay in control of your car when accelerating and decelerating. Your engine could rev too much, too, without the speed you're driving at increasing. more 2. Jolting or Shaking Whether the sensation is subtle or strong, any vibrating, jolting, or shaking during gear changes tells you that there's something wrong. If your car has a manual transmission, then you may notice the gears grinding when you attempt to change gears. 3. Trouble Switching Gears Cars often have trouble shifting gears when the transmission isn't working properly. Sometimes this is a case of having contaminated transmission fluid, but the issue could be something more serious, too. If your vehicle won't switch gears, whether this is a constant or occasional problem, then make sure you visit the dealer to get the transmission system inspected. 4. Strange Noises Cars often make strange noises when there's something wrong with them. Grinding or bumping sounds happening while you've got your car in neutral tell you that your transmission system is having problems. Noises in neutral can occur for various reasons, from low transmission fluid to a much more serious transmission problem. 5. Transmission Fluid Leak Always inspect the area around your vehicle for puddles of fluid. This is so you'll notice when one of the fluids in your car is leaking out of it. Transmission fluid usually smells sweet and is red, so tell your dealer if you see this fluid around your vehicle, and get to the dealer as soon as you can. If you see brown or black fluid under your car, then it may also be transmission fluid. Transmission fluid darkens as it gets older. 6. Burning Smell It's possible for your transmission to overheat. Old transmission fluid can burn up, too. Both of these problems can create a very noticeable burning odor. If it smells like something is burning while you're driving or even around your car while it's parked, then get the vehicle to the dealer for a checkup. Visit Koons Mazda Silver Spring in Silver Spring, MD any time your transmission is in trouble. Head to our website to schedule service any time your car is having problems.
