Minor underbody scraping is not serious. What are the impacts of underbody scraping: Generally, minor scraping may cause scratches on the underbody, which is not a big issue, but the scratched areas are prone to rust. Severe underbody scraping requires a comprehensive inspection of the chassis, especially the front part of the vehicle, which includes components like the engine, transmission, oil pan, etc. Severe scraping can lead to oil pan leaks, transmission damage, or deformation of the drivetrain components, causing significant harm to the vehicle. Solutions: Install an engine skid plate. An engine skid plate can protect the engine from impacts by road debris and scrapes by foreign objects. However, this practical feature is not available on all vehicle models. For models without this protective plate, it is recommended that owners install one, choosing from materials like metal, resin, or plastic.

Has the Accord Stalling Issue Been Resolved?

Currently, the issue has been resolved. Honda officially recalled all affected vehicles earlier and installed devices to optimize the airflow velocity at the intercooler outlet for free, in order to eliminate the potential hazard. Below is relevant information about the Accord stalling incident: 1. Fault Feedback: Starting from May 2020, there have been continuous complaints from car owners about sudden loss of speed while driving in rainy conditions, with 4S shops unable to identify the cause of the fault. 2. Official Response: Due to the design of airflow velocity at the engine intercooler outlet, when driving in high-temperature and high-humidity environments such as heavy rain, a small amount of condensed water may accumulate at the intercooler outlet. In such cases, rapid acceleration may cause condensed water droplets to be sucked into the combustion chamber, leading to engine misfire. In extreme cases, this may cause the engine to enter protection mode, resulting in limited acceleration while driving and posing a safety hazard.

What is the detailed introduction of Subaru's four-wheel drive system?

Detailed introduction of Subaru's four-wheel drive system: 1. Full-time four-wheel drive structure: Subaru has added a bevel gear-type central differential to the transfer case, with a rigid gear connection. The electronically controlled multi-plate differential inside is only responsible for adjusting the torque distribution between the front and rear axles and cannot separate them. Therefore, the front and rear axles always receive power. Under normal conditions, the power distribution between the front and rear wheels is 70:30, making it a true full-time four-wheel drive structure. 2. Active Torque Distribution Full-time Four-Wheel Drive System: The Active Torque Distribution Full-time Four-Wheel Drive System transmits power directly from the transmission to the central differential in the transfer case, which then distributes it to the front and rear axles via a multi-plate clutch. The electronically controlled multi-plate differential receives commands from the computer and adjusts torque distribution in real-time based on road conditions, offering better reliability and practicality.
