What are the reasons why a car cannot shift gears?
1 Answers
The reasons why a car cannot shift gears include: 1. No fuel: The fuel gauge shows below the red line, making it impossible to start; 2. Dead battery: This could be due to a drained battery from leaving headlights on for too long or the battery reaching the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years; 3. Incorrect gear position: For automatic transmission cars, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) to start. If it is in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the car will not start. Some manual transmission cars may also fail to start if the clutch is not depressed; 4. Fuel quality issues: Presence of water or mud in the fuel tank. When refueling outdoors, you can use a gauze to cover the fuel nozzle to filter out impurities; 5. Lack of antifreeze: Water or low-quality antifreeze in the car can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold winter conditions, leading to a cracked engine and malfunctioning water pump.
