Here are the steps to take when your vehicle breaks down: 1. Turn on the hazard warning lights; 2. Ensure it is safe to open the door, then exit the vehicle to inspect; 3. Move the vehicle to the right side of the road or highway; 4. Place a triangular hazard warning sign; 5. Open the trunk and hood to alert other drivers; 6. Call for assistance. Common causes of vehicle breakdowns include: 1. A weak or dead battery making it difficult to start; 2. Burned-out fuel pump wiring, preventing fuel delivery; 3. Insufficient oil pressure in the transmission's hydraulic lines, leading to damaged friction plates inside the automatic transmission; 4. Excessive engine load, accelerating wear and aging.
