SPRING CAR CARE | DIAGNOSING A PROBLEM
What Is your Vehicle Telling You?
Not every required
repair is illuminated
by a light on the
dashboard.
Fortunately, your vehicle has
multiple ways of alerting you
when parts are failing, and
attention is necessary to
ensure better performance
and safety.
When you’re in the car this
spring, roll up the windows,
turn the radio down and listen
for these common noises that
demand awareness.
BRAKE NOISES
An efficient braking system
is imperative for your safety
and the well-being of others
on the road. This hydraulic
system relies on a series of
pads, rotors, caliper pistons
and fluid to slow the vehicle at
a driver’s demand. When you
engage with the pedal, these
common problems are easily
noticed.
Squeaking: Pads are often
built to squeak once their fric-
tion is past recommended
wear levels set by the manu-
facturer. Some new vehicles
feature sensors that will tell
the car’s computer when a
replacement is due.
Grinding: If you hear grind-
ing or notice your vehicle
shaking once the pedal is
depressed, it’s usually caused
by a warped or grooved rotor.
Burning smell: When a cali-
per’s piston is stuck, it will gen-
erally keep the pads engaged
with the rotor while you’re
driving. This typically provides

an odor that something is
burning and can compromise
other vital components.
NOISES UNDER
THE HOOD
There are numerous compo-
nents in the engine compart-
ment that are powered by a
serpentine belt. It rides a sys-
tem of pulleys on important
parts to operate things like
power steering, cooling and
charging. If you hear squeak-
ing under the hood while your
vehicle is running, it’s likely
there is a problem with the
belt, tensioner or pulleys.
Don’t risk an expensive tow bill
by driving with these issues as
it can leave you stranded if
ignored.
RATTLING
UNDERCARRIAGE
Without an effective exhaust
system, the gases and pollu-
tion created by your vehicle
would have no way to exit. It’s
an innovative maze of pipes,
hangers and converters that
are often forgotten as a part of
regular maintenance. Some
signs of physical damage you
should listen for are rattling
metal when you hit a pothole
or cross a railroad track. It’s
possible that a hanger is failing
or an important component is
not properly installed.
