Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid to transfer force; any leaks can result in reduced braking performance or brake failure.
Brake pedal feels spongy
Air in the brake lines can cause a soft or spongy brake pedal, reducing braking efficiency.
Brake fluid contamination
Contaminated brake fluid can affect the performance of the braking system and lead to component corrosion.
Brake pads wear out
Over time, brake pads will naturally wear down and need replacement to maintain effective braking.
Warped brake rotors
Excessive heat or wear can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations during braking.
Brake caliper issues
Sticking or seized brake calipers can cause uneven braking or drag, reducing overall braking efficiency.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder is a critical component in a hydraulic brake system; failure can lead to a complete loss of braking ability.
Abs (anti-lock braking system) malfunctions
The ABS system can experience sensor or module failures, leading to reduced braking performance or loss of ABS functionality.
Brake light issues
Faulty brake lights can be a safety concern and may indicate underlying electrical or sensor issues.
Brake booster failure
A failing brake booster can make the brake pedal harder to press, increasing stopping distances and effort required to brake.
Brake hose wear
Over time, brake hoses can become cracked or brittle, leading to potential leaks and reduced braking performance.

Problems:

Oil consumption
The L99 engine is known for consuming more oil than typical engines, which could be due to piston ring issues or valve stem seals.
Active fuel management (afm) issues
AFM can cause lifter failure, leading to ticking noises, misfires, and potential engine damage.
Timing chain wear
Premature wear of the timing chain can lead to misalignment and engine performance issues.
Camshaft position sensor failure
This can cause rough idling, difficulty starting, and poor engine performance.
Throttle body deposits
Deposits can build up around the throttle body, leading to poor throttle response and stalling.
Carbon build-up
Direct injection engines like the L99 can suffer from carbon build-up on intake valves, affecting performance.
Coolant leaks
The L99 engine can develop coolant leaks, often from the water pump or coolant hoses, leading to overheating.
Exhaust manifold cracks
Cracks can develop in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and decreased performance.
