If your car’s check engine light is on, and you notice any of the following, you should avoid driving it if:
The car’s engine sputters or misfires. This could mean that your car needs a new fuel injector. While this isn’t usually expensive, if the car’s already old, it might not be worth the investment.
Strange noises come from the engine. If the engine sounds like it’s grinding or knocking, this could point to a problem that needs immediate attention. For instance, if a car has worn-down brake pads, the car might make a grinding noise as it comes to a stop.
The car smells. Different smells can point to different problems. For instance, a burning smell may indicate a problem with the engine or brake pads. The smell of rotten eggs could point to a malfunctioning catalytic converter.
You’re not stuck with a car that doesn’t safely get from point A to point B. By selling your vehicle to CarBrain, you can turn your clunker into cash. Then, you can focus on more important matters––like getting your dream car.
