Keeping up with your maintenance schedule is an essential part of car ownership. However, these issues mean it’s time to make an appointment with our Nissan service center sooner rather than later.
Strange Noises
Don’t ignore any strange sounds you hear while your engine is running. Listening for odd sounds is a great way to catch malfunctioning parts before they become a major problem, so any peculiar noises are a sign to come in for Nissan maintenance. It may be simply the sound of unusual road conditions—or it may be a loose timing belt.
Smoke or Steam
If you’ve noticed smoke emitting from under the hood or through the exhaust pipe, or steam from the front of the vehicle, it’s time for a repair. Steam comes from an overheating engine, which may indicate a problem with your cooling system. Smoke, on the other hand, suggests something like motor oil may be burning, so pull your vehicle over as soon as you can and have it towed to a service center.
Leaking Fluids
Your Nissan vehicle depends on several fluids to keep running well, from engine oil to transmission fluid. If you see a puddle under your regular parking spot, your fluid levels may be dangerously low, leading to an unlubricated engine that can damage itself quickly. If you’re not sure, try parking your vehicle in a different place than normal and keep an eye out for puddles underneath.
