Why Does the Brake Become Hard and the Car Won't Start?

[MacColeman]

Reasons why the brake becomes hard and the car won't start: 1. Dead battery: This may be caused by leaving the headlights on for an extended period, resulting in a drained battery, or the battery may have reached the end of its lifespan. It is generally recommended to replace the battery every 2 years. Additionally, installing xenon headlights, high-power audio systems, or DVD players can also lead to vehicle circuit malfunctions. 2. Lack of antifreeze: Some car owners use water or low-quality antifreeze, which can cause the entire cooling system to freeze in extremely cold winter conditions, leading to engine block cracks. This prevents the car's water pump from functioning, making it impossible to start the engine and potentially damaging other engine components. 3. Wrong gear position: For automatic transmission vehicles, the gear must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) when starting. If the gear is left in R (Reverse) or D (Drive), the car won't start. Some manual transmission cars also won't start if the clutch is not depressed.
