Common car failures in summer include: 1. Brake failure; 2. Air conditioning malfunction; 3. Insufficient lubrication of fluids; 4. Tire blowout; 5. Paint damage; 6. Vehicle self-ignition; 7. High transmission temperature; 8. High engine temperature; 9. Overheating of coolant. Car maintenance items include: replacing engine oil, three filters, spark plugs, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, brake pads, tires, and batteries. The benefits of car maintenance are: 1. Ensuring the vehicle is in excellent performance condition; 2. Improving vehicle efficiency and reducing wear on parts and tires; 3. Enhancing driving safety; 4. Preventing dangerous situations caused by vehicle issues; 5. Reducing noise and environmental pollution; 6. Keeping the vehicle's appearance clean and preventing damage.
I've noticed that my car always has some weird issues in summer. The engine is most prone to overheating, especially in traffic jams when the coolant temperature skyrockets, so I have to frequently check the coolant and radiator. The AC cooling is terrible—either it's a refrigerant leak or a compressor failure, costing hundreds to fix. Tire pressure becomes unstable in high temperatures, and aged tires are more likely to blow out. I once experienced a tire blowout on the highway—scared me to death. The battery also struggles, making it hard to start the car in hot weather. I recommend a thorough pre-summer maintenance check, including the AC, tire pressure, and battery voltage, to avoid last-minute hassles.
As a young driver, I dread the most when the air conditioning fails in summer. Driving for hours with hot air blowing is extremely uncomfortable, and a visit to the repair shop often reveals insufficient refrigerant or clogged pipes. Tires are also crucial; low tire pressure significantly increases the risk of a blowout on hot roads—a friend had an accident last year because of this. The battery discharges quickly in high temperatures, making it fail to start several times. It's advisable to check these points before every trip; don't hesitate to clean the air conditioning or replace the tires if needed.
