What is drivetrain malfunction?

A drivetrain malfunction refers to any problem with the components that transfer power from the engine to the wheels of a vehicle, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, axles, and wheels. Common symptoms of a drivetrain malfunction include unusual noises, vibrations, difficulty shifting gears, slipping gears, and loss of power. If not addressed promptly, drivetrain malfunctions can lead to more serious issues and potentially unsafe driving conditions. It is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible if any drivetrain issues are suspected.
