What is it?

Drivability is a term that is typically applied to the qualities of a vehicle a consumer is considering for purchase. However, more specially, it refers to an general evaluation, performed by a skilled technician, concerning the vehicle's powertrain capabilities, and whether or not it effects the overall ability for a person to drive a vehicle.

What does it do?

Issues with divability can include, but are not limited to:

• No-crack condition: a phenomenon that occures when a car doesn't respond to a key turn, or all systems fail before the vehicle is fully started.

• Starts and dies condition: if a vehicle strats, but doesn't run smoothly after it's ignited (i.e. vibrates, rattles, shakes, bucks, etc.)

• Acceleration Issues: if the vehicle cannot brake smoothly, has questionable noises such as grinding or squeaking, or has any issues associated with acceleration.

• Cold/Hot Start Run Problem: If the weather outside is too hot or too cold, and you are having trouble with the ignition.

• Intermittent Dying: If a vehicle dies at random moments, it is very clearly an unsafe situation (most likely a problem with ignition) and needs to be fixed inmmediately before it can be considered "drivable".
