Have you ever heard a mysterious noise coming from the engine bay of your car and wondered where it’s coming from but the next minute, you totally ignore it?  Unfortunately, that’s not good, as ignoring noises, glaring issues, or even warning lights on your dashboard could prove to be bigger problems that you need to deal with. 

As such, here are five obvious car problems that you could regret ignoring.

Avoiding that Annoying “check engine” Light

Whenever that annoying “check engine” light comes on, it’s easy to turn a blind eye to it, especially if the car seems to be running perfectly fine. Sure, it could be something as simple as a loose petrol cap, however, it could also be something more serious that you’re not aware of. 

Fortunately, a qualified mechanic will have to tools to look deeper into the issue, so it’s recommended that you get your car checked out as soon as possible if that light comes on.

Avoiding Broken or Non-working Head and Taillights

We see the inside of our cars more than the outside, so it’s easy to miss a non-working head or taillight. One good rule of thumb is to do a quick walkaround of your car at least once a month to make sure that your car’s lights are working properly. Not only does having a non-working head or taillight cause a safety issue, but it can also lead you to get pulled over by road safety officers, and of course, paying some fines.

Avoiding Tire Alignment Issues

Is your car pulling to the left or the right when you’re cruising on the highway? If so, this could be an obvious sign of improper alignment, which could, in turn, lead to needing new tires completely. 

Worn-out tires are a huge safety issue considering those big, black round things are the only connection between your car and the road it travels on. Be sure to get your tires checked and inflated once a month.

Avoiding Replacing Cracked or Broken Windscreen

It’s easy to think, “I can still see despite the crack in my windscreen, so there’s no need to replace it yet.” However, did you also know that the constant changes in temperature can make that crack much bigger? 

A car’s windscreen provides up to 30 per cent of the car’s rigidity, which means that a cracked windshield could compromise your safety in a crash or rollover situation. So, get that windscreen repaired or replaced as soon as you can since it could cost you more in the long run.

Avoiding Shaky Brakes

Do you know that really annoying squealing noise that you hear every time you slow down or come to a stop? Those are your car’s brakes telling you that something could be wrong. Squealing brakes are typically a sign that your pads or rotors (or both) need to be serviced.

Conclusion

In the beginning, these are issues you could easily avoid without knowing the mountain of problems they could result in in the near future. As such, stop avoiding the signs.
