The Hazards of Driving onto Curb for Vehicles?
1 Answers
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.
