Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid, and any leaks can lead to a loss of braking power.

Brake fade

Overheating of the brake components can cause brake fade, reducing the effectiveness of the brakes.

Abs malfunction

An issue with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can lead to reduced control during hard braking.

Warped brake rotors

This can cause vibration and reduced braking efficiency.

Worn brake pads

Brake pads wear out over time and need to be replaced to maintain braking performance.

Engine misfires

Engine misfires can occur due to issues with the ignition system, fuel delivery, or internal engine problems.

Turbocharger problems

Given the 280 hp output, turbocharger issues could lead to reduced engine performance.

Timing chain issues

Timing chain problems can lead to poor engine performance and potentially severe engine damage.

Oil leaks

Oil leaks can lead to engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Cooling system problems

Issues with the cooling system can cause the engine to overheat, leading to potential damage.

Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from brake fluid leaks, which lead to reduced braking efficiency.

Brake fade

Prolonged use of brakes, especially under heavy load, can cause brake fade due to overheating, reducing braking power.

Warped brake rotors

Consistent high-performance driving can lead to warped brake rotors, causing vibrations and reduced braking effectiveness.

Master cylinder failure

The hydraulic brake system’s master cylinder can fail, leading to a loss of brake pressure and reduced braking capability.

Engine misfires

In-line 4-cylinder engines can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Turbocharger issues

The 280 hp engine may have a turbocharger that can develop problems like oil leaks or reduced boost pressure.

Timing chain/belt problems

Engine configurations like the one in the Stelvio may experience timing chain or belt issues, leading to poor engine performance.

Coolant leaks

Alfa Romeo engines have been known to develop coolant leaks, which can lead to overheating and engine damage.

Electrical problems

Alfa Romeo vehicles can experience electrical issues affecting various systems, including engine management and diagnostics.

Transmission issues

The transmission system may develop problems such as rough shifting or transmission fluid leaks.
