It doesn’t matter if you drive a 2017 Honda CR-V, a 2016 Honda Accord, or another one of our stylish, capable vehicles. Few things are as unnerving as that moment when you realize your automobile isn’t driving as smoothly as it normally does. Any number of reasons can cause you to experience a bumpy ride. Fortunately, the remedy for a bumpy ride doesn’t always involve an expensive repair.
Here are some of the most common reasons that cars don’t drive smoothly:
· Tires: Most frequently, it’s your tires that will cause your ride to be bumpy. The smoothness of your drive can be affected by an improperly inflated tire, tires that aren’t aligned correctly, or tires that have rocks or another form of debris stuck in them. Luckily, these issues can be addressed easily and affordably.
· Suspension: Your car’s suspension is supposed to keep your vehicle’s tires on the road to provide a smooth ride. Your suspension may be to blame for your bumpy ride, especially if you’ve noticed that your automobile has started to bounce as you’re coming to a stop or you can feel the impact of driving over a speed bump or pothole more than you usually can. If you notice that your car leans to one side, it’s also an indication that you have a problem with your suspension.
· Transmission: If you experience bumpiness when you shift your vehicle’s gears, it’s extremely likely that your transmission is responsible for your ride’s lack of smoothness. If you suspect that your transmission is the problem, it’s critical that you bring your car into our Indianapolis, IN Honda dealership as quickly as possible. As a general rule, the longer you wait to have a transmission problem fixed, the harder and more expensive it will be to remedy the problem.
