Here are the main hazards of driving onto curbs for vehicles: 1. Increased tire wear and potential damage to the tire sidewalls. 2. Shortened lifespan of shock absorbers. 3. Risk of undercarriage scraping, damaging the oil pan and suspension structure. 4. Harm to the steering gear and power steering system. Below are solutions to common issues: 1. Engine failure: Symptoms of failure to start may include no signs of starting when the ignition is turned on, the starter making noise but failing to turn, the starter turning but unable to crank the engine, or the engine being cranked by the starter but not starting. 2. Automatic transmission failure: Symptoms include slow acceleration, harsh shifting, high oil temperature, lack of high gear, failure to start, or inability to shift the gear lever. Most automatic transmission failures are caused by untimely maintenance and adjustments, apart from long-term wear and tear. 3. Steering wheel wobble or vibration: This occurs when the car exhibits unstable steering or shaking while driving. Causes may include excessive wheel runout, unbalanced wheels, loose steering components, incorrect front wheel alignment, or air in the power steering hydraulic system. 4. Brake failure: Symptoms include the inability to slow down or stop when applying the brakes, or sudden loss of braking effectiveness after one or multiple consecutive applications. Possible causes include brake fluid or air leaks, ruptured or disconnected brake lines, or failed brake seals. 5. Wiper malfunction: Symptoms include wipers not working or working weakly, incorrect sweep range or angle, indistinct speed variation, or inability to control speed. These issues may be related to failures or misalignments in the wiper motor, speed switch, or mechanical parts of the wiper linkage.

What is the basic introduction to car tire knowledge?

Here is a basic introduction to car tire knowledge: 1. Functions of tires: mainly include dry grip, hydroplaning resistance, providing comfort, reducing driving noise, impact resistance, wet grip, load capacity, handling performance, even wear, and mileage. 2. Cross-sectional structure of tires: Generally, it can be divided into 4 parts: tread, shoulder, sidewall, and bead. Each part has its own function. The tread mainly contacts the ground, the shoulder and sidewall provide support, and the bead contacts the rim to provide sealing. 3. Internal composition of tires: The interior of the tire is composed of multiple layers of different materials, including tread pattern, overlay, steel belt layer, stress absorption rubber strip, carcass ply layer, and inner liner.

How to reset the tire pressure monitoring system on a Mercedes-Benz R400?

After the tire pressure indicator light comes on, you must ensure the vehicle is parked safely by the roadside and first check the tire pressure monitoring function on the navigation screen for any wheel abnormalities. If the alarm is triggered due to excessively high tire pressure, we can slightly increase the tire pressure to reach the safe value. If the display shows excessively low tire pressure, you need to reset the system and drive the car for a while. The tire pressure warning will then be eliminated, resolving the issue.

What to Do When the Truck Rolls After Applying the Handbrake?

If the truck continues to roll, it indicates that the handbrake is not tightened properly or there is an issue with the handbrake. This usually means the handbrake cable is faulty, often due to misalignment or deformation of the handbrake shoe bracket. If you forget to apply the handbrake when parking normally and the vehicle starts to roll backward, pressing the foot brake firmly may prevent significant danger. Whenever the vehicle is stuck on a slope and starts to roll backward, the first thing the driver should do is stay calm and avoid panic, then quickly press the foot brake.
