The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can malfunction, leading to issues with maintaining control during hard braking.
Active fuel management issues
The L83 engine's Active Fuel Management system can develop problems, such as lifter failure, which can lead to engine misfires and reduced performance.
Variable valve timing problems
The VVT system can experience issues like faulty solenoids or cam phasers, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Aluminum engine component wear
The aluminum components in the L83 engine can wear over time, potentially leading to issues like head gasket failure or cylinder wear.
Fuel injector problems
