What are some subtle signs your car is about to have a dangerous and potentially life threatening malfunction and you should stop it ASAP?

strange chemical smells, sudden burning smell, car goes wobbly seemingly out of nowhere. Anything weird and abnormal basically.

car drives perfectly normally
brakes feel correct
transmission shifts gears
gas pedal makes the car go faster
radio turns off when you press the power button
fans make a whirring sound

I had a fun one where my dash lights and headlights were all of a sudden much brighter than normal, voltage reg inside the alternator went out and it was pushing 18 volts when I measured. 92 loyale, fixed it by taking the alternator out of my buddy's old car at the junkyard, which was cool.

I forgot to tighten the lugnuts on a rear wheel once, I noticed a slight side to side wobble after driving like 20 miles on it, pulled over and found it before a china happened.
