“Troublesome” car breakdowns that drivers are not even aware of

Hidden defects are perhaps the most unpleasant thing a car can convey to its owner. After all, such a defect is difficult to immediately replace, and sometimes the conditions for the occurrence of a particular malfunction are simply impossible to recognize. The AutoVzglyad portal will tell you about the most dangerous and troublesome of them.
Every self-respecting car owner walks around his “horse” before getting behind the wheel. In any case, to assess whether there is damage to body parts or whether corrosion spots are visible on the paint. Even bird droppings on the roof, pillars or hood can quickly “eat” the paint and cause rust. Therefore, it is a mandatory rule before the trip to inspect the car for exposure to irritants from outside, including the neighbor at the entrance.
Special attention should be paid to the wheels. To be precise: the tires in which they are ‘shod’. These are tires that often cause problems during use and even cause accidents. For example, due to a small defect, scratch or abrasion, which can easily turn into a crack or puncture due to dynamic loads while driving. But although microdefects on the rubber layer are quite difficult to detect visually, cuts and blisters are visible, even if they seem insignificant. And if, unfortunately, there are, expect trouble: soon the tire will start to leak air, or it will simply burst. We believe that there is no need to tell you what threatens this.
Not every modern car has a brake fluid level indicator. As a rule, this icon is responsible for the operation of the braking system as a whole and appears after the manure has “escaped”. Or other problems are discussed, especially critical wear of the brake pads or a broken handbrake. It is therefore best to check yourself for the presence of “brake fluid” in the reservoir. Moreover: it must be replaced periodically, and not after a certain mileage, but at least once every one and a half to two years. This way you can avoid the “boiling” of the fluid due to mechanical changes, as well as the loss of elasticity of the braking mechanisms and their complete failure.
Light or heavy force when working with the steering wheel should not only be associated with changes in weather conditions or the type of road surface. Often such behavior of the steering wheel indicates wear of the steering rack. There are several reasons for this: use on broken surfaces, exposure to moisture, dirt and chemicals, as well as depressurization of the unit. In order not to encounter a “wedge” of the steering wheel while driving, it is better not to be lazy and inspect the car for possible problems. Eliminating the fault will help you maintain control not only of the car, but also of your own life.
