Press Releases A car is supposed to run efficiently, getting you where you need to go with ease. However, as things change over time and parts start to wear down, little issues will present themselves in one way or another. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know what’s a little clinking and what’s an emergency sign there’s something wrong with your car. Thankfully, when you learn more about your vehicle, you can know when something needs your immediate attention, keeping yourself and your vehicle safe.
On your dashboard, you’ll have a few spots where lights will come on when there’s an issue in your car. For example, there’s a light that will activate when you have a tire pressure issue, but the light itself doesn’t mean your tires are too in danger yet. The light comes on earlier so that you can find the time and resources to fix them, but it’s not an immediate issue. However, if one of these lights comes on and is flashing, you need to get someone to handle that as soon as possible. Flashing lights are an immediate indicator that there’s a problem somewhere in your car, such as a damaged engine. And the longer you put off addressing it, the more unsafe your vehicle becomes.
One of the worst things you can notice in your car is the presence of foul odors. They’re not pleasant to drive with, and they also indicate there’s a major problem with something in your car you need to address. While there are many smells that can originate around your engine because of something like leaking coolant, the other common scenario that can be much worse is smells from your exhaust system.
A broken exhaust is dangerous because you’ll end up with these foul odors, which are toxic. Sometimes, you may not even notice the smell, as a broken system could also leave your interior cabin full of carbon monoxide. If you have any reason to suspect something is wrong with your exhaust system, you need to get a professional to look at your car.
Your car may be low to the ground, but you should not hear dragging sounds whenever you go on the road. If you notice a sound like an object is scraping against the asphalt as you’re driving, something is wrong with a part of your vehicle’s underside. There are lots of delicate components on the car’s bottom, including your exhaust system, steering components, and suspension parts. If you notice any dragging sounds, either find your way to a mechanic, or take your vehicle off the road as soon as possible.
It’s important you know which emergency signs indicate there’s something wrong with your car. There are the occasional issues that have a quick fix you can do in your own garage or driveway, but there are many other signs that signal you and your car could be in danger.
