Issues

When problems arise with cars, drivers may encounter various issues that occur with varying frequencies. Some problems occur more frequently, including poor headlight sealing, which can cause fogging in humid weather, as well as inadequate sound insulation in the engine compartment and uneven wear of the front brake pads.

On the other hand, there are less common issues that drivers face. These include thin body metal, which is susceptible to deformation from minor impacts, as well as premature wear of the standard bearing supports and weak fastening of the front wheel arch liners.

To maintain the safety and reliability of the vehicle, drivers should regularly check the condition of the headlights, cabin sound insulation, and brake system, as well as pay attention to the condition of body components to promptly detect and address any potential problems.
