Remember when you were a teenager and learning how to drive?  Do you remember receiving your driver’s license from the local Department of Motor Vehicles?  How about that first drive with nobody else in the vehicle? Sure, it was probably a long time ago, but for most of us it was a major milestone in our lives.  For me there was a tremendous feeling of excitement and freedom that came with being able to drive on my own.

We have all experienced that feeling of cruising down the road, sun shining, wind blowing, listening to your favorite music and out of nowhere…that ugly red or yellow warning indicator pops up on your dashboard. You’ve got a problem!  What do you do next? That all depends on what you see.

If the light is RED, this is serious.  You should immediately look for a safe place to pull the car over and turn the vehicle off as to avoid any further damage to the vehicle or to avoid any potentially unsafe conditions.  Generally, a red ... read more
