Sea Breeze, Car Squeeze: Car Breakdown on Malaysia Coastal Roads (East & West Coast Routes) | MyMechanic
The Unique Challenges of Coastal Driving
While they're beautiful, coastal roads can be a bit tough on your car and come with some specific breakdown risks:
Salt Air Corrosion: Being so close to the sea means there's salt in the air, which can really speed up corrosion on metal parts, especially underneath your car and on electrical systems.
Heat and Humidity: High temperatures and humidity can put extra strain on your car’s cooling system and air-conditioning.
Varying Road Conditions: Some coastal roads, especially in more remote areas, might not be as well-maintained, so watch out for potholes or uneven surfaces.
Flash Floods: During monsoon seasons, coastal areas are super prone to sudden, heavy downpours and flash floods, which can make roads impassable in a flash.
Remote Stretches: Long stretches of road between towns, particularly on the East Coast, can mean patchy or no mobile signal, and potentially longer waits for help.
