Khaberni - A car breakdown can often result from our neglect more than from it being a sudden malfunction. Periodic maintenance and continuous inspection are key to maintaining car performance and avoiding costly malfunctions.
Here are four main reasons for a car breakdown:
Ignoring the Check Engine light:
Many drivers neglect this warning, even though it may indicate simple problems at first, which can escalate and lead to major and costly malfunctions.
Not changing fluids and filters regularly:
Neglecting coolant or motor oil, for example, leads to overheating or damage to the internal parts. Regular maintenance extends the life of the car and maintains its efficiency.
Neglecting the tires:
Under-inflated or damaged tires weaken performance and increase fuel consumption and also pose a safety hazard. Regularly check tire pressure.
Not adhering to the maintenance schedule:
Every car needs periodic maintenance according to the schedule recommended by the manufacturer. Ignoring it can lead to problems that require major repairs later.
The golden rule: Don't wait until the malfunction worsens. Just as detecting a disease early makes it easier to treat, repairing a malfunction at the start saves time and money.
