The most common causes of car breakdowns include battery issues, such as a dead or failing battery, which often results from age, extreme temperatures, or leaving lights on. Tire problems, like punctures, blowouts, or uneven wear, are another frequent culprit. Engine overheating, often due to a lack of coolant, a faulty thermostat, or a broken radiator, can leave you stranded. Faulty alternators and starter motors also contribute to breakdowns, as they directly impact the car’s ability to start or maintain electrical power. Fuel-related issues, such as running out of fuel, using the wrong type, or a clogged fuel filter, are common as well. Transmission failures and timing belt issues are less frequent but costly causes. Regular maintenance and quick attention to warning signs like unusual noises or dashboard alerts can significantly reduce the risk of these problems.
