If there\u2019s one certainty in regard to auto ownership, it\u2019s that things may eventually go wrong, and when they do, your car is going to let you know it. For better or worse, our cars alert us to their problems, and they\u2019ll often do this with sounds and smells. So, to help you find what might be wrong with your car, today we\u2019ll look at some of the common car sounds that you can\u2019t ignore, and we\u2019ll double back later to tell you of some sounds that portend problems as well.<\/p>\n

Four Common Car Sounds that you Can\u2019t Ignore<\/h2>\n

Tires that Squeal<\/h3>\n

As you certainly are aware, squealing from tires is not a good thing. Yet, the reason it occurs is to tell you that something is wrong. It\u2019s actually alerting you to a wearing brake pad, as the pads themselves often have built-in indicators to show when they\u2019re wearing out. The whining you\u2019re hearing, thankfully, is just telling you that you need to get to Prestige Imports for brake repair.<\/p>\n

\"ExoticTires that Grind<\/h3>\n

Grinding tires, essentially, are proof that you didn\u2019t pay enough attention to the squealing that we just mentioned. This means that the brake pads have worn past the point of no return, and that you\u2019re now grinding on the calipers and rotors. This can be a potentially hazardous and expensive problem, and is deserving of immediate attention.<\/p>\n

Tires that Growl<\/h3>\n

Growling from tires, really? Yes, it\u2019s true. If tires make a growling sound, this means that a ball bearing within the tire is failing. If allowed to fail entirely, you may have a tire seize up and stop spinning, which will abruptly stop your vehicle. This is definitely deserving of an immediate look at Prestige Imports.<\/p>\n

Squealing from Under the Hood<\/h3>\n

The squealing that often comes from under the hood of is usually the result of a faulty drive or serpentine belt, which powers many of your vehicle\u2019s vital functions, from running the air conditioner to the power steering. While it\u2019s a relatively easy fix, it\u2019s also an essential one. If you\u2019re experiencing this, service is in order.<\/p>\n

While there are many other sounds that a car will make when it\u2019s acting up, these are among the most common. To learn more or to schedule service, visit us at Prestige Imports<\/a> today!<\/p>\n
