alarming signs of cars to note

Văn Thắng |

For regular car users, detecting unusual signs of a car early is extremely important.

Here are some signs that many drivers often ignore, but in fact, you need to pay attention when using a car to always maintain the stable and best operating state of the car.

turned off the engine or could not start the engine

Any damaged or damaged part of a car can lead to engine failure such as: dead steering wheel, broken brakes, improper use of cones, broken fuel pumps, etc. Therefore, car users need to check and adjust these small problems to avoid bigger problems during the use of the car.

Engine warning lights turn on

As soon as the engine warning light is seen, car users should immediately take the car to a store or a reputable garage for maintenance and repair if necessary. Cases of running warning lights often mean that the vehicle may be having serious problems so the signs cannot be ignored.

Difficulty starting the vehicle

This could be a sign of various errors including battery, start-up, etc. If you ignore this sign for a long time, the problem will get worse.

slow-accelerating vehicles

When increasing the speed from 0km/h to 60km/h but the driver feels that the acceleration time of the vehicle is slower than normal, it could be a sign that the vehicle is having a bad problem.

The common cause of this is that the vehicle has problems with the bugi, fuel distribution or gas supply. Therefore, the owner of the car should check it himself or take it to a reputable garage immediately.

UK car experts say this could also be due to a failed car's powertrain. This is a more serious problem than the above case, so professional repairman's help is needed to fix it.

Liquid leak

For a car, there is a lot of fluid inside including: Engine oil, brake fluid, engine coolant, windshield washing water, gearbox oil, driving assistance oil...

If the user finds any of the above fluids leaked during use, it could be a sign that the vehicle is in a state that needs to be checked urgently.

Liquid leakage causes many dangers because it can cause the vehicle to heat up too much or lack the appropriate braking force. If signs of liquid leak are detected early, it will be easier to fix. However, if this situation is left for too long, it may cause greater damage to the vehicle and car users will have to spend a lot of repair costs. Moreover, if you continue to drive a car and encounter that situation, it will be dangerous for yourself.

Unusual fluctuations

When driving on a rough road, the feeling of shaking in the steering wheel and frame is normal. This happens due to the wheels coming into contact with the rough surface. However, pay attention to this phenomenon when traveling on flat roads. Because it can be a sign of damage inside the engine or suspension.

Ineffective car engines or unrewarded problems will cause the car to lose steam when accelerating, climbing slopes, etc. The cause of this phenomenon is often due to broken bugi. Therefore, drivers need to be checked and repaired urgently.

Unusual noise

When driving and hearing some unusual noises such as those from a car, you should check the vehicle immediately. Because these noises often come from the brake system, engine or suspension system and this condition can endanger the vehicle during use. If you do not want your car to stall in the middle of the road, go to the nearest reputable garages to check as soon as possible.

Another noise that needs attention is the noise from the gas tank. This could be due to a leaked fuel pipeline and could easily cause a fire or explosion. So if you hear such a sound, take the car to the garage for immediate repair.

Vehicles release too much smoke

In some cases, the vehicle emitting too much smoke can be a sign that the vehicle is about to catch fire. It could be a sign that the vehicle is leaking oil or more seriously, engine damage. Therefore, it is necessary to check and repair immediately to avoid causing insecurity to yourself and those around you.
