A transmission requires regular servicing to replace worn or damaged components and keep it working efficiently. As your Genesis dealership, we want you to know some signs you need to visit us for a transmission service. more Transmission Fluid Leak Transmission fluid circulates through the transmission, protecting components against friction damage by covering them with a friction-resistant coating. It also provides the hydraulic power that allows the gears to shift. The transmission is sealed, but if it's not regularly serviced, the transmission pan gasket at the base of the unit can crack, and the fluid will leak. A fluid leak is easy to see, as it's bright or dark red depending on its age. If you have a transmission leak, we advise against driving, as a low fluid level will cause the transmission to overheat and potentially seize and need replacement. Even driving a short distance will increase wear and tear on transmission components. We'll replace the damaged seal and refill the fluid. Buzzing or Humming Noises This issue starts with a very slight buzzing or humming sound that's often overlooked. As time passes, the sounds will become louder, and this is a sign of trouble. The most common cause of these odd noises is low transmission fluid, but they could also be due to worn gears, damaged bearings, a fault with the transmission pump that pushes the fluid through the system, or something else. Sometimes the buzzing or humming noise will morph into a whining sound, and this usually means an issue with the torque converter. The torque converter is the section of the transmission that connects the engine and transmission. Whining sounds can mean worn stator support bearings, a damaged torque converter clutch, or a failing torque converter. We'll investigate and repair the problem. Slow Shifting As you increase or decrease speed, the transmission control unit sends instructions to the gears, and they automatically shift up or down depending on your speed. Gear shifting is quick, and you won't really notice it. Slow shifting is an obvious delay between gear changes that results in a drop in power, and you'll probably hear a revving noise from the engine. Like many transmission issues, it can be due to low fluid, but it could also be due to damaged gears, broken transmission bands, a failed sensor, or a faulty transmission control unit. We investigate and fix the problem. If you have a transmission problem, contact us today at Genesis of Baton Rouge in Baton Rouge, LA.

The oil change reminder in your Genesis lets you know when to refresh your motor oil. For additional assurance on this, it's best to schedule routine oil services with the technicians at your local Genesis dealership, who can help you with courteous reminders. Also, check your oil frequently and keep an eye out for the following symptoms of low or degraded oil. more 6 Signs Your Genesis Needs an Oil Change Darker Oil Color Fresh oil is a light honey color, slowly darkening to brown as it ages. When you remove the dipstick to check, if your oil has become dark brown and filled with particles, it's time to replace it. And if it's closer to black and sludge-like in consistency, your engine is already suffering wear and tear. Falling Gas Mileage As motor oil ages and deteriorates, it stops lubricating properly. The oil's detergents also fade, resulting in an under-lubricated engine with possible internal corrosion. As these issues begin, the engine will lose efficiency, burning more gas for every mile you drive. Rough Engine Noises The rising friction caused by insufficient motor oil will make your engine subtly louder and rougher. And when oil goes really bad, the driver may hear knocking or ticking sounds as internal parts brush and bump against each other. Burning Oil Smell Motor oil can occasionally leak from a gasket, seal, or plug, especially in a poorly maintained vehicle. When oil leaks, it seeps out and runs over heated engine parts, which causes it to burn up. If this happens, you're likely to catch a whiff of burning oil as you drive. Smoke From the Tailpipe Internal leaks can also occur. A slight fault with a piston or valve could allow oil to enter the combustion chambers, wherein it will quickly burn up, producing smoke that travels through the exhaust pipes and escapes from the tailpipe. This burning oil smoke is often blue in hue. Dashboard Warning Lights Along with the oil service reminder, your dashboard will warn you if inadequate oil is already causing problems. The oil warning light means you must change your oil immediately to avoid damage to the engine. In addition, the check engine light will often be triggered. If you see any of these lights in combination with the aforementioned symptoms of low or bad oil, pull over and allow your engine to cool before checking the oil. You'll probably need to have it changed right away. Refresh Oil Fast at Your Genesis Dealership We can promptly change your oil and also the oil filter if necessary. In addition, it's wise to book annual engine tune-ups, which allow us to inspect every part of your engine to ensure all is working well. Visit Genesis Of Baton Rouge in Baton Rouge, LA, today for fresh motor oil. We aim to provide an exceptional automotive purchasing and servicing experience, as befits the Genesis brand.

Summer is here, and there’s no better time to pack your bags, load up the vehicle, and hit the open road. Whether you're heading to the coast, the mountains, or just exploring the scenic routes of Louisiana, ensuring your vehicle is ready for the journey is essential. At Genesis of Baton Rouge, we want your summer travels to be as smooth and stress-free as possible. That starts with a few key maintenance checks before you drive off. more 1. Inspect Your Tires Tires are your first point of contact with the road. During summer, roads can get extremely hot, which can impact tire pressure and wear. Check for proper inflation, tread depth, and signs of uneven wear or bulging. A quick visit to our service center can help you spot issues early. Don’t forget the spare tire – it should be properly inflated and ready in case of emergency. 2. Check Your Fluids Fluids play a vital role in keeping your vehicle running efficiently. Before you leave, check the engine oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Hot weather increases the demand on your engine, so having clean, adequate fluids is a must. If it’s been a while since your last oil change, now’s the perfect time to schedule one. 3. Test the Battery Summer heat can be just as tough on your battery as winter cold. High temperatures can cause battery fluid to evaporate and damage the internal structure. If your battery is over three years old, have it tested. Our team at Genesis of Baton Rouge can quickly assess its strength and determine if it needs replacement. 4. Air Conditioning System Check There’s nothing worse than discovering your A/C isn’t working during a 95-degree day on I-10. Make sure the air conditioning is cooling effectively and that there are no strange smells or noises coming from the vents. If the system isn’t performing like it used to, bring it in for a recharge or inspection. 5. Examine Wipers and Lights Visibility is key, especially during those unexpected summer rainstorms. Replace worn wiper blades and ensure your washer jets are spraying properly. Also, walk around your vehicle to check that all lights are functioning – headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights. 6. Brakes and Belts Your brakes should feel firm and responsive. If you notice squealing, grinding, or a spongy feel when braking, have them inspected immediately. It’s also a good idea to check your vehicle’s belts and hoses for signs of cracking or wear. These components are often overlooked but are critical for a safe trip. Plan Ahead With Peace of Mind At Genesis of Baton Rouge, our service team is here to help you get road-trip ready. Whether you drive a Genesis G70, GV80, or any other model in the lineup, we provide high-quality maintenance tailored to your specific vehicle. Schedule a service appointment today and start your summer adventures with confidence. Visit us at Genesis of Baton Rouge to get your vehicle summer-ready. Safe travels!
