Check the Belts & Hoses
Car owners sometimes overlook belts and hoses. They may assume these components will last longer than expected, or they may need to familiarize themselves with premature wear. Regardless, when belts or hoses suffer problems, a vehicle could stall or experience other dangerous problems.
Coolant could leak out if there is a perforation in the radiator hose. Fluid loss may result in an overheated engine and a stalled car. If brake fluid leaks from the connected lines and hoses, the car might not stop when stepping down on the pedal, causing a collision.
