Most Common Reasons for Car Breakdown
 
No one wants to deal with a car breakdown, but it can be even worse if the problem is easily correctable. Read ahead so you can do some simple checks so you aren’t stranded with a vehicle that is only a quick fix away from working.
 
One thing you should check is to see whether the lug nuts of your vehicle are tightened properly. This may cause an issue with your suspension and drivetrain and is something that is easy to correct.
 
Another reason for your vehicle’s troubles could be with the electrical system. Check all your fuses to make sure none of them are blown as this can be the reason for your car being disabled.
 
If your vehicle isn’t working at all, it may be an issue with the fuel or sparks. The easiest way to check if there is a problem with the sparks is to pull off one of the plugs and crank the motor. If there is a spark there might be an issue with the fuel instead. For this, disconnect the air intake and crank the motor. If your fuel system is working properly you should be able to smell gasoline.
