- Correct, could also just say "My car broke down".
- "My telephone/phone stopped working yesterday" sounds more natural
- "Be careful driving this car, it's always breaking down" sounds more natural but both are right
- "She broke down and cried when she broke up with her husband."
- "The police had to break down the door to enter the house".
