A vehicle breakdown is the [[mechanical]] [[failure]] of a motor vehicle in such a way that the underlying [[problem]] prevents the vehicle from being operated at all, or impedes the vehicle's operation so much, that it is very difficult, nearly impossible, or else [[dangerous]] to operate. Vehicle breakdowns can occur for a large number of reasons. Depending on the [[nature]] of the [[problem]], the vehicle may or may not need to be towed to an automobile repair shop. | A vehicle breakdown is the [[mechanical]] [[failure]] of a motor vehicle in such a way that the underlying [[problem]] prevents the vehicle from being operated at all, or impedes the vehicle's operation so much, that it is very difficult, nearly impossible, or else [[dangerous]] to operate.
