Automobile automatic transmission sudden gear shift failure is caused by the gear lock being engaged, car battery power loss, etc. The following are specific introductions: Gear lock being engaged: Automatic transmission vehicles are equipped with a gear lock switch, mainly used to force gear shifting when the car has no power and cannot shift gears, or to prevent the vehicle from rolling. If this switch is accidentally touched, causing the gear to be locked, the gear shift will fail. The unlocking operation can be performed on the shift lever. Car battery power loss: Car battery power loss can also cause the inability to shift gears. You can check whether the lights and dashboard on the car are still displaying and working normally. If they are not working properly, it indicates that the car has a power loss. Simply recharge the battery to restore power.

Squeaking Sound When Driving Slowly Over Bumpy Roads

The reasons for squeaking sounds when driving slowly over bumpy roads are as follows: 1. Lower control arm: The ball joint of the lower control arm is loose with excessive clearance, causing abnormal noises when going over bumps; 2. Stabilizer bar: The rubber bushings of the stabilizer bar are loose with excessive clearance; 3. Shock absorber: The shock absorber's plane bearing is damaged or the buffer rubber of the front wheel shock absorber has aged. The connection points between the shock absorber and the vehicle body are equipped with buffer rubber. Over time, rubber components will harden and age. When hardened rubber is compressed, it produces a clunking sound. Replacing the aged rubber on the shock absorber will resolve the issue.
