Why Doesn't the Rear Wheel Move After the Car Has Been Parked for a Long Time?

If the rear wheel doesn't move after the car has been parked for a long time, it may be due to a dead battery, oxidized oil, or a flat tire. Here are the specific reasons: 1. Dead battery: The battery may be dead and unable to start the car. This is because the battery still undergoes "sleep discharge" even when the car is turned off. 2. Oxidized oil: For vehicles that haven't been driven for an extended period, if the oil isn't changed regularly, it can easily oxidize and deteriorate, losing its ability to lubricate and cool effectively. 3. Flat tire: Long periods of inactivity can cause the tire pressure to drop. Additionally, when parked for too long, the pressure on the tires is concentrated on one spot, which may also lead to tire deformation over time.

I've encountered this too! When a car sits idle for too long and suddenly won't move, it's usually because the brake discs and pads have rusted and stuck together. Especially when parked outdoors on rainy days, cast iron brake discs exposed to moisture can rust solid in just a few days. My neighbor's car had this exact issue last time - forcing it to move actually tore the brake pads. Here's a folk remedy: shift into reverse and move forward a few centimeters, then shift into drive and move backward a few centimeters. Repeat this a few times until you hear a 'clunk' sound indicating they've loosened. If it still won't budge, absolutely don't force it - the safest option is to have a mechanic remove the wheel and tap it loose. Forcibly towing might damage the suspension.

What to Do When Your Purchased Car is Recalled?

When a purchased car is recalled, it undergoes a series of inspections and repairs. Once completed, the owner can retrieve the car from the 4S store. Below is more information about car recalls: 1. Introduction to Car Recalls: A process where the manufacturer of defective automotive products chooses to repair, replace, or recall the vehicle to eliminate defects that may cause personal injury or property damage. A recall does not necessarily mean a refund; a refund is just one method of executing a recall. The vast majority of recalls are addressed through free repairs or replacement of parts. However, relevant regulations do not clearly stipulate that vehicle recalls must compensate consumers for losses. 2. Protecting Owner Rights After a Recall: Owners can first negotiate with the local 4S store to provide an alternative vehicle until the recalled car is repaired. If the recall involves part replacement, owners should pay attention to whether the car will be considered as a used car with replaced parts in the future. In such cases, it's important to communicate with the 4S store and the manufacturer to request solutions and compensation for losses, such as demanding an extended warranty.

What Causes a Dash Cam to Flash On and Off?

The flashing of a dash cam is due to unstable voltage. Solution: First, remove the SD card or TF card and press the power button to check if it can turn on. If it still doesn't turn on, look for the "RESET" hole on the side of the device and gently press it with a soft object. Then, press the power button again to see if it starts up. If the dash cam boots normally, it indicates a problem with the card, which can be resolved by formatting it. After formatting the card and reinserting it, if the issue persists, it is recommended to replace the memory card. Precautions: The dash cam should be installed near the rearview mirror inside the car. This placement ensures it doesn't obstruct the driver's view, and even during rainy or snowy weather when the wipers are in motion, it won't affect the normal recording of footage. Most importantly, regularly check the dash cam's mounting, as poor fixation can easily lead to failure in capturing crucial footage.

What does it mean when the car's faucet-shaped yellow light is on?

When the car's faucet-shaped yellow light is on, it indicates that the engine (exhaust system) malfunction indicator light is illuminated. Below is relevant information about the car's faucet-shaped yellow light being on: 1. Different scenarios of the car's faucet-shaped yellow light being on: If the faucet-shaped light turns off a few seconds after starting the engine, this is a normal system self-check. If this yellow faucet-shaped light remains steadily lit, it may indicate a fault in the exhaust system. If the light flashes intermittently, it suggests engine misfire or catalytic converter damage. 2. Reasons for the car's faucet-shaped yellow light being on: Main causes include poor fuel quality not meeting standards, spark plug carbon buildup, oxygen sensor malfunction, engine knocking, damaged coolant temperature sensor, or engine cylinder misfire. 3. How to respond when the car's faucet-shaped yellow light is on: If the car's coolant temperature gauge and oil pressure warning light haven't activated, the vehicle can still be driven but must proceed with caution at reduced speed, seeking the nearest auto repair shop for inspection. If the coolant temperature is too high or the oil pressure warning light also illuminates, and obvious vehicle malfunction is detected, immediately pull over and request roadside assistance.

What is a safety hammer used for?

It is mainly used to smash glass for escape in emergency situations such as fires or car submersion, with the blade at the end of the handle used to cut seat belts for escape. Currently, bus window glass is generally made of high-hardness and high-strength organic glass, which is difficult to break with fists or feet, making it hard for passengers to break the window for escape in emergencies. Therefore, modern buses, especially air-conditioned ones, are usually equipped with 4 to 6 safety hammers on both sides of the compartment. The striking position for the safety hammer is the four corners of the window glass. Below is an introduction to safety hammers: 1. Design concept of safety hammers: The pull-handle safety hammer combines the interior safety pull-handle and escape hammer in its design. In an emergency, pressing a button releases the handle, allowing it to be used as a safety hammer, making it quicker to break the window and increasing the chances of escape. 2. How to operate a safety hammer: Pick up the safety hammer and strike the four corners of the tempered glass, avoiding the center as it is the strongest part. Since some glass has film, it may not fall off immediately after breaking; you can kick it open. Once the glass falls off, exit the vehicle body promptly and in an orderly manner, moving to a safe location.

What to Do When a Car Reaches Its Scrapping Period?

When a car reaches its scrapping period, the following steps should be taken: 1. Settle all traffic violations and accidents involving the vehicle first. 2. Apply for the vehicle owner to fill out various application forms: The owner should obtain and complete one copy each of the Application Form for Vehicle Modification, Transfer, Alteration, Suspension, and Scrapping Approval, and affix the owner's seal. 3. Apply at the registration acceptance counter: For vehicles that have reached the scrapping age, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. For vehicles that have not reached the scrapping age but are deemed to meet the scrapping standards after inspection by the vehicle inspection counter, a "Vehicle Scrapping Notice" will be issued. 4. Deliver the car to a recycling company for dismantling. 5. Settle the residual value: After verifying the "Notice," the recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos, and then settle the residual value. 6. Complete the scrapping registration: The owner should submit the "Modification Form," "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Appraisal Form," "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate," and photos of the dismantled vehicle to the vehicle inspection counter for verification and signature. The license plates and certificates will be reclaimed, and the scrapping registration will be processed after approval according to regulations. 7. Obtain the scrapped vehicle recycling certificate.
