As the temperature falls, many car owners are adding antifreeze to their cars to keep them running through the winter. However, a number of them have suffered unexpected breakdowns because of low-quality antifreeze solutions bought at roadside stalls.

A driver surnamed Zhou adds antifreeze to his car every year before winter. However this year his car ran into trouble after he did. When he sent it to a garage, workers found that tiny grains of sand in the antifreeze had caused the breakdown.
