Unfortunately, when we hit a pothole, run over a bag flying near the road, or have a rock hit the windshield some things can go wrong with your vehicle. While these instances are easier to diagnose than others, there are times when our vehicles give us plenty of warning signs with odd smells, sounds, and warning lights that need to be diagnosed and resolved before we can move on and get back on the road. With that in mind, here are some of the possibilities of what you may encounter as you drive and what you should do.<\/p>\n
Rattling Interior<\/strong> \u2013When you hear a rattling noise in the interior of your vehicle it\u2019s likely you\u2019ve hit a pothole or some small parts have worn out and need to be replaced. If you can find the location where the items are rattling you can remove the panel and take a look behind it to see what\u2019s happening that could be fixed so that you don\u2019t hear this rattling any longer.<\/p>\n
Maple Syrup Smell<\/strong> \u2013If you head into your garage and are greeted with a sweet smell that is somewhat like maple syrup you have a leak in your coolant system. Often this could mean a hole in one of the hoses, but there are times when this could be much worse and require you take the vehicle to a mechanic to be evaluated and repaired.<\/p>\n
