The warning lights are colored pictograms that appear on the panel, behind the wheel, and give you information about possible malfunctions in your car.
The exhaust gas control system symbol is a yellow warning light indicating a malfunction that forces the engine to enter in emergency mode. In this case you’ll notice a loss of power and the engine won’t rev up past 2000 revolutions per minute.
Diesel engines cars have this yellow indicator that usually appears after switching on the ignition, although it disappears a few seconds later, at this point you can turn the key completely. If this light flashes after the car starts running, it is a motor failure.
Some of these can be prevented, while others may happen without warning.
Child car seat failure: Keep an eye out for seat recalls. Are you using it right? Are you strapping the seat correctly to the vehicle? Do the instructions read clearly?
Airbag failures (Inadvertent deployment, late deployment, failed deployment): Check for recalls. You should also check the crash history if you buy a used car.
Transmission malfunction: Make sure your car does not overheat (a common factor for transmission issues), ensure there is no leakage, check fluid levels, and ensure the liquid is not dark or dirty.
Defective Seatbelts: It is difficult to avoid this because a seatbelt can seem like it is in working order until an accident occurs and then it is too late. What you can do is check for seatbelt recalls. Ford and Chevy have both recently had recall due to seat belt malfunctions. Toyota is currently going through seat belt lawsuits due to defective seatbelts on the Toyota Prius.
Vehicle rollover roof crush: There is no way to avoid this, but if you or a loved one has been involved in a vehicle rollover and the roof of the vehicle crushed, then you need to call an Attorney immediately.
Car stalling due to ignition defect: This can lead to a loss of control of the vehicle. AutoZone offers an ignition module test to customers.
Defective Steering component (axel, wheel): Does your steering wheel have a rough or loose feel to it? Does your car have a little extra “bounce” when it goes over a speed bump? Are there noises when you steer? Is the wear on your tires uneven?
Even though it is uncommon, an accident resulting from brake failure can be disastrous and even deadly. Some of the warning signs of brake failure include the brake warning light coming on, your vehicle jerking to a stop or pulls to one side when you use your brakes, pumping the brakes to get them to work right or having one or more wheels excessively hot after short drives.
Toyota has been dealing with product liability lawsuits over their Toyota Prius and also Lexus models. Ford has also seen its share of floor mat issues. Many car companies have taken note of this and most new models now have floor mats that are meant to stay in place and not get in the way of the driver and the gas / brake pedals. Sudden acceleration lawsuits happen. If you have an older car or a vehicle that comes with loose floor mats, check to make sure there has not been a recall.
Some other typical reasons engines fail to start include:
1. Low or discharged battery.
2. Corroded or loose battery cables.
3. Starter motor relay failure.
4. Ignition switch failure.
5. Faulty fuel pump.
6. Clogged or dirty fuel filter.
7. Neglecting oil and filter changes.
8. Catalytic converter failure.
A warning or check engine light is the most common issue for US car, truck and SUV owners. These lights illuminate when the vehicle’s ECU (engine control unit) detects an error code triggered by a sensor.
Warning signs can take the form of: Creaking or squealing upon turning, which could be from worn or damaged parts, joints that need greasing or from low power-steering fluid. Clicking when you turn, likely a problem with a constant-velocity (CV) joint or boot. A clunking noise when you drive, even when you aren’t.
