Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, hoses, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Worn brake pads or shoes
Over time, brake pads or shoes wear down and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking performance.
Brake rotor or drum wear
The brake rotors or drums can become worn or warped, causing vibrations or decreased braking efficiency.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder can fail, leading to a loss of hydraulic pressure and brake function.
Brake caliper issues
Calipers can seize or develop leaks, affecting the ability to properly clamp the brake pads against the rotors.
Air in brake lines
Air in the hydraulic system can lead to a spongy brake pedal feel and reduced braking effectiveness.
Engine misfires
The in-line 4-cylinder engine may experience misfires due to issues with the ignition system, fuel injectors, or spark plugs.
Timing belt/chain wear
Over time, the timing belt or chain can wear out or break, leading to engine performance issues or failure.
Fuel injection problems
The EFI (Electronic Fuel Injection) system can develop issues with the fuel injectors, sensors, or fuel pump, affecting engine performance.
Cooling system issues
Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can lead to engine overheating.
Exhaust system leaks
Leaks in the exhaust system can lead to increased emissions, noise, and potential engine performance issues.
Oil leaks
