What to Do When Your Car Breaks Down Midway?
1 Answers
If your car breaks down midway, you should: 1. Stay calm and move the car to a safe location if it can still be moved; 2. Exit the vehicle promptly and avoid making phone calls for help while sitting inside the car; 3. Turn on the hazard lights immediately to alert other vehicles and pedestrians; 4. Place a triangular warning sign behind your car, at least 20 meters away (or more than 60 meters on highways); 5. Call for a tow truck. Common causes of car breakdowns include: 1. Fuel pump or wiring failure, leading to fuel delivery issues; 2. Transmission problems, such as increased friction in the gear shift mechanism due to coasting in neutral; 3. Frame deformation or loosening, causing doors to not close properly; 4. Transmission issues like gear jumping or grinding; 5. Excessive engine load or accelerated aging.
