Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in brake lines, hoses, or master cylinders, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake fade
Overheating of brake components can cause brake fade, reducing braking performance.
Abs malfunction
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can malfunction, leading to loss of anti-lock capabilities and longer stopping distances.
Brake pad wear
Brake pads can wear out over time, leading to reduced braking ability and potential damage to rotors.
Brake rotor warping
Overheating or worn brake pads can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.
Brake caliper seizing
Calipers can seize due to corrosion or lack of lubrication, leading to uneven braking or dragging brakes.
Engine misfire
Issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors can cause one or more cylinders to misfire.
Fuel system problems
Contaminated fuel or ethanol-related issues can affect fuel injectors and fuel pumps.
Timing chain problems
Wear and stretch in the timing chain can lead to poor engine performance and potential engine damage.
Dod system issues
The Displacement on Demand (DOD) system can malfunction, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Oil consumption
The engine may consume more oil than normal, leading to frequent oil top-offs and potential engine damage if not monitored.
Cooling system leaks
Leaks in the radiator, hoses, or water pump can cause the engine to overheat.
Sensor failures
Malfunctioning sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, MAP sensors) can lead to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Transmission issues
Problems with the transmission can affect engine performance and drivability.
