The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or malfunction, causing rough idling, stalling, and increased emissions.

The crankshaft position sensor may fail, leading to no-start conditions or intermittent stalling.

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in lines, hoses, or connections, reducing braking efficiency.

Air can enter the hydraulic brake system, causing a spongy feeling when the brake pedal is pressed.

Over time, brake pads can wear down, reducing braking performance and requiring replacement.

Warped or damaged brake rotors can cause vibrations or reduced braking effectiveness.

V-shaped engines, like the 6-cylinder in the Oldsmobile Bravada, can develop coolant leaks at the head gasket or water pump.

A V6 engine might experience misfires due to ignition system issues, such as bad spark plugs or faulty ignition coils.

V-shaped engines can develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.

Timing components can wear out, leading to poor engine performance or even engine damage if not addressed.

Dirty or failing fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

In V-shaped engines, the intake manifold gasket can deteriorate, causing vacuum leaks and poor performance.

V6 engines can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.

Older vehicles like the 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada may experience electrical problems, such as faulty wiring or failing sensors.

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function. Over time, seals and hoses can deteriorate, leading to leaks and reduced braking effectiveness.

Air can get trapped in the brake lines, causing a spongy or soft brake pedal. This often requires bleeding the brake system to remove the air.

Regular use causes brake pads and rotors to wear down. If not replaced in a timely manner, this can lead to reduced braking performance and damage to other components.

The V-shaped engine configuration can sometimes suffer from inadequate cooling, especially if the cooling system components like the radiator or water pump are failing.

The V6 engine has a timing belt or chain that needs regular maintenance. If it fails, it can lead to severe engine damage.

The V6 engine, especially in older models like the 1994 OLDSMOBILE Silhouette, can develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals.

Over time, fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance, misfires, or reduced fuel efficiency.

Problems with spark plugs, ignition coils, or the distributor (if equipped) can cause misfires, poor engine performance, or difficulty starting the engine.

Radiator, water pump, or thermostat failures can lead to engine overheating, which is especially problematic in older vehicles.

Vacuum hoses and gaskets can deteriorate over time, causing rough idling, poor acceleration, or stalling.

Older automatic transmissions can suffer from wear and tear, leading to shifting problems, slipping gears, or complete transmission failure.
