Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders, leading to reduced braking performance.
Brake fade
Overheating of the brake components can cause a temporary loss of braking power, especially during prolonged or heavy braking.
Abs failure
The Anti-lock Braking System (if equipped) can malfunction, causing the ABS light to illuminate and potentially affecting braking performance.
Uneven brake pad wear
Can be caused by caliper issues, improper installation, or lack of maintenance, affecting braking efficiency.
Brake noise
Squealing or grinding noises can indicate worn brake pads, rotor issues, or foreign objects in the braking system.
Loss of brake pressure
Can be caused by air in the hydraulic lines or a failing master cylinder, leading to a spongy brake pedal.
Engine misfires
Common in older vehicles, can be caused by issues with the ignition system, fuel injectors, or sensors.
Oil leaks
Common in older V-shaped engines, can be caused by worn gaskets, seals, or valve covers.
Overheating
May occur due to a failing radiator, water pump, or thermostat, especially in older engines.
Vacuum leaks
Can affect engine performance and braking system assist since the brake booster relies on engine vacuum.
