Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function. Leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder can lead to reduced braking efficiency or brake failure.
Brake pedal feels spongy
Air trapped in the hydraulic brake lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy and reduce braking performance.
Worn brake pads or rotors
Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need to be replaced. Worn components can lead to reduced braking effectiveness and longer stopping distances.
Engine misfires
The V-shaped engine configuration in the LMG model can experience misfires due to faulty ignition coils, spark plugs, or fuel injectors.
Cylinder deactivation issues
The LMG engine's cylinder deactivation feature can malfunction, leading to rough idling, reduced performance, or increased fuel consumption.
Fuel system problems
As a flex-fuel vehicle, the engine can run on different fuel types, which may lead to issues with fuel injectors, fuel pumps, or fuel filters.
Excessive oil consumption
V8 engines, including the LMG model, are sometimes prone to higher oil consumption, which may be due to worn piston rings or valve seals.
Timing chain wear
The timing chain in the LMG engine can wear out over time, leading to engine performance issues or, in severe cases, catastrophic engine failure.
Cooling system problems
Issues such as a failing water pump, thermostat, or radiator can cause the engine to overheat, leading to potential engine damage.
