You turn on the heat during a cool September morning, expecting warm air, but the vents deliver nothing more than a disappointing breeze. Maybe the heater works only while you’re driving. Maybe it starts warm, then turns cold at a stoplight. Or perhaps the temperature gauge has begun acting differently, too. These symptoms are easy…
One morning, your car starts normally. A few weeks later, the battery hesitates, the tires feel less planted on a damp road, or the windshield fogs faster than usual during your commute.
