Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to operate. Leaks can lead to a loss of braking power and increased stopping distances.
Brake pad wear
Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced. Worn brake pads can reduce braking efficiency and cause damage to the brake rotors.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder is a critical component in a hydraulic brake system. If it fails, the brake pedal may become spongy or go to the floor, resulting in severe braking issues.
Brake caliper issues
Calipers can seize or become stuck, causing uneven brake pad wear and reduced braking performance.
Brake rotor warping
Heat and stress can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.
Brake booster failure
The brake booster helps multiply the force applied to the brake pedal. If it fails, increased effort is needed to stop the vehicle.
Electronic fuel injection (efi) issues
Problems with the EFI system can lead to poor engine performance, stalling, or difficulty starting the engine.
Fuel pump failure
A failing fuel pump can result in a loss of engine power, stalling, or difficulty starting the engine.
Ignition system problems
Issues with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, can cause misfires, rough idling, and poor engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum leaks in the engine can lead to rough idling, stalling, and decreased fuel efficiency.
Cooling system problems
The engine can overheat due to issues with the radiator, thermostat, water pump, or cooling fan, leading to potential engine damage.
Oil leaks
Oil leaks can occur from the valve covers, oil pan, or other engine seals, leading to low oil levels and potential engine damage.
Timing chain/belt issues
Problems with the timing chain or belt can cause engine misfires, poor performance, or even engine failure if not addressed.
Exhaust system problems
Issues with the exhaust system, such as leaks or a failing catalytic converter, can lead to increased emissions and reduced engine performance.
Sensor failures
Sensors such as the oxygen sensor, mass airflow sensor, or throttle position sensor can fail, causing poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
