Battery

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your vehicle. If your Armada struggles to start when temperatures drop, it often signals that the battery is losing cranking amperage in cooler conditions. Even if it seems fine after jumping, gradual temperature changes can expose weak battery cells or insufficient cold cranking amps (CCA). Since this happens every year and replacing the battery usually helps, your current battery may just be nearing the end of its effective lifespan. I'd suggest checking your battery's age and CCA rating to ensure it meets the manufacturer's specifications. Since this happens every year, it is worth inspecting all the cables and wiring in the starting and charging systems for corrosion or damage. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered.
