If your “check engine” lights comes on, what do you do? Take it straight to the shop, or ignore it for a while and hope it turns off? Sometimes, mine has randomly gone off and then I think the problem fixes itself.
A new survey found 1 in 7 drivers are currently driving around in a car that potentially has a serious issue. And 29% of people who’ve had their “check engine” light come on have waited over a MONTH to get it looked at.
Here are the five most common car issues we’re currently ignoring . . .
1. A rattling sound. 17% are currently ignoring it.
2. Brakes that squeak or grind, 15%.
3. The “check engine” light is on, also 15%.
4. A cracked windshield, 14%.
5. A leak coming from somewhere under the car, 14%.
