Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to decreased braking performance.

Brake pedal feel soft or spongy

Air in the hydraulic brake lines can cause the brake pedal to feel soft or spongy, reducing braking effectiveness.

Engine misfires

The Ford in-line 4-cylinder engines can experience misfires due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Timing chain issues

Some Ford engines have been known to have problems with timing chain tensioners, which can lead to noise or engine performance issues.

Cooling system leaks

The engine may experience coolant leaks from the radiator, hoses, or water pump, leading to overheating issues.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The in-line 4-cylinder engines may develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, causing exhaust leaks and noise.

Fuel pump failures

Fuel pump issues can lead to poor engine performance, stalling, or starting problems.

Transmission shifting problems

Automatic transmissions in this model year may experience hard or delayed shifting due to solenoid or valve body issues.

Suspension wear

Components like ball joints and bushings can wear out over time, leading to poor handling or unusual noises.

Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid to transfer force. Leaks can lead to decreased brake performance or failure.

Brake pad wear

Brake pads wear down over time, reducing braking efficiency and requiring regular replacement.

Brake rotor issues

Warped or damaged rotors can cause vibrations or reduced braking power.

Brake line corrosion

Corrosion in brake lines can lead to leaks and brake failure.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder is crucial for maintaining brake pressure. Failure can result in a soft brake pedal or complete brake loss.

Abs sensor malfunction

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail, leading to erratic braking behavior or loss of ABS functionality.

Brake fluid contamination

Contaminated brake fluid can reduce braking efficiency and cause damage to brake components.

Vacuum pump failure

On some models, the vacuum pump assists the brake booster. Failure can lead to hard brake pedals and reduced braking power.
