The Charger Daytona EV Scat Pack catapults to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and completes the quarter-mile run in 11.5 seconds. Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust While most performance EV manufacturers settle for the soft whine of the electric motors, Dodge developed the world's first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. The ground-breaking exhaust system announces the Charger Daytona EV's arrival with a visceral roar that is reminiscent of the HEMI V8. The Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust system incorporates dual bespoke extreme bandwidth transducers, dual Fratzonic Chamber-loaded passive radiators, and a dedicated amplifier that delivers up to 600 watts of power.

When the wheels of your Dodge are perfectly aligned, you'll enjoy smooth and highly responsive driving. However, all road vehicles eventually suffer from misaligned tires that become knocked out of proper positioning by bumps over potholes or against curbs. Misalignment can lead to all kinds of handling and steering issues, and eventually pose a safety threat. Here are eight signs of poor tire alignment that should prompt you to visit your local Dodge dealership to have your wheels set straight. more 8 Signs Your Dodge Needs a Tire Alignment Uneven Tire Wear When a car's wheels are pressing against the tarmac at unusual angles, the tires start to wear down unevenly. This shortens tire lifespan and also raises the risk of skids and blowouts. Squealing Tires The awkward angles of misaligned tires often cause them to squeal when the car corners. The incorrect angle makes the tires slide slightly or scrub against the tarmac, generating the squealing sound. Veering to One Side You may also find your car pulling to one side when the wheels aren't perfectly straight. This will become most noticeable when driving along a straight stretch of road; you'll start drifting toward the neighboring lane. Crooked Steering Wheel The steering system is directly connected to the suspension and wheels. Misaligned tires put pressure on the steering column, sometimes twisting it out of shape, which can cause the steering wheel to become fixed at a crooked off-center angle. Loose Steering Wheel With misaligned tires putting strain on the suspension and steering system, your steering will also become less precise. The steering wheel could start to feel looser in your hands, with more free play and a less firm and responsive feel Excess Vibrations With misaligned wheels and the resultant uneven tire wear, your car will begin generating more road noise and vibrations. So if your rides are becoming less smooth and quiet, have the alignment of your wheels checked. Poor Gas Mileage Fuel efficiency is optimized when the wheels of your car are perfectly parallel. The more they come out of proper alignment, the more rolling friction is created, which causes gas mileage to gradually diminish. Visibly Misaligned Tires If misalignment becomes really bad, you'll notice something strange about the appearance of your ordinarily beautiful Dodge. When viewed directly from the front, you may clearly see that the wheels are crooked. Have Your Wheel Alignment Measured at Your Dodge Dealership It's advisable to have the alignment of your tires measured twice a year, which requires specialist machinery and training. If our technicians find that the wheels are out of alignment, they can quickly return them to the proper factory positioning. Visit Auffenberg Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Shiloh, IL, today j to have your tires realigned, rotated, or replaced. We offer consistently top-notch vehicles, financing, maintenance services, and customer care.

Unrivalled Hybrid Performance Where the GT holds the title as the fastest, the R/T trim earns the accolade of the quickest CUV in the segment. Dodge achieves this by switching the gas engine for a hybrid powertrain. It may be more eco-friendly, but the 1.4-liter PHEV packs a mighty punch, generating 383 pound-feet of torque and propelling the R/T from a standstill to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. Engage the class-exclusive PowerShot feature to gain an additional 30 horsepower for 15 seconds, and this hybrid's output hits 288 ponies.

When put to the test, the electric muscle car boasts the capability to rocket from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds and rush through the quarter-mile mark in 12.6 seconds. The Scat Pack amps up the Daytona EV's output to a beastly 670 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, alongside numerous other upgrades such as a dual-valve adaptive damping system.

Thunderous Electric Exhaust Drivers addicted to the Hemi V8's iconic roar can enjoy the same exhaust notes with the Daytona EV's Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust. Instead of relying on high-pressure gases to produce a growl, the system uses dual bespoke extreme bandwidth transducers, dual passive radiators, and a dedicated amplifier. To complete the muscle car experience, the Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust produces distinctive sounds in response to specific vehicle events. For instance, the system produces different sounds when the driver powers up, powers down, accelerates, decelerates, and idles. The electric exhaust system also alters the notes to match the driving mode, with different sound intensities for Drag, Drift/Donut, and Track modes. If you are in the mood for a peaceful cabin, you can engage Stealth Mode and enjoy a silent drive. Outstanding Maneuverability The Daytona EV handles sharp turns just as impressively as it does straight roads, thanks to standard AWD, its balanced chassis, and its advanced suspension system.

The combination of features enables the Daytona EV to corner fiercely with reduced body roll. Innovative Braking System Adjustable regenerative braking provides plenty of stopping power and allows you to configure how much of the recaptured energy is used to charge the battery.

The battery is one of your vehicle's most important components, as it supplies the power that starts the cranking process and enables combustion to begin. As your CDJR dealer, we want to tell you a few signs that you may need to visit us for a new car battery fairly soon. With that in mind, check out these three signs that you need a new car battery from your local dealership. more Old Battery Age can be a telltale sign you need a new car battery. The average life of a battery is three to five years before it wears out. This can be further reduced due to extreme environmental factors or electrical issues. A battery usually fails due to the naturally occurring breakdown of its sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid plays a major role in the chemical reactions that allow the battery to store electricity, but as the sulfuric acid degrades, it reduces the battery's storage capacity. As its storage capacity drops, the battery will weaken, and eventually, it won't be able to supply enough charge to power the starter that cranks your engine. Long before this happens, you'll see signs like longer cranking times, dim lights, and slow or failing accessories when under battery power. Our technicians will test your battery and can quickly install a replacement if the original is failing. Rotten Egg Smell As we saw above, sulfuric acid breaks down, and in the end stage of this breakdown, it releases hydrogen. The hydrogen molecules can escape the battery casing and join with sulfur molecules, released into the engine due to the presence of fuel. These two chemicals form hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. Your battery may still carry charge, but that awful smell means it's wearing out. We'll replace the battery to prevent it from failing and potentially leaving you stranded. Phantom Drain This strange situation is caused by a fault in the electrical system. A phantom drain can cause a battery to lose almost all its stored power in a few hours. When your engine is switched off, the battery uses its stored reserves to power various systems like the alarm, doors, and lights. It doesn't require much electricity to sustain these systems, especially as many of them only draw power when they're switched on. Systems that remain on draw power and the phantom drain is usually caused by a light that remains on when it should have switched off. Two of the most likely culprits are the lights inside the glove box and the trunk, as they're impossible to see once their lids are closed. A faulty relay can allow either of them to remain on to drain the battery. We'll trace the electricity flow to identify the cause of the problem then we'll repair it. These are just a few of the many potential signs you might need a new car battery from your local dealer. If you have these or any other signs of a battery problem, contact the experts today at Auffenberg CDJR in Shiloh, IL for testing and service right away!
