Problems:
Brake calipers sticking
The brake calipers may seize or stick, causing uneven brake pad wear and potentially leading to decreased braking performance or brake failure.
Brake disc warping
Vented discs can warp under high stress or heat, resulting in vibrations during braking and reduced braking efficiency.
Brake fluid contamination
Contaminated brake fluid can lead to corrosion within the brake system, compromising brake performance and potentially causing brake failure.
Dynamic brake support malfunction
The Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) system may fail or malfunction, reducing the effectiveness of emergency braking assistance.
Engine knock
The 3UR-FE engine, like other V8 engines, can experience knocking or pinging noises, which might indicate pre-ignition or detonation issues.
Oil leaks
Given the age of the vehicle, oil leaks may develop around gaskets, seals, or other engine components, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.
Excessive fuel consumption
The i-FORCE engine with Sequential Multi-Port Injection (MPI) might experience issues with fuel injectors or other components, leading to higher than normal fuel consumption.
Engine misfire
Issues with the ignition system, fuel delivery, or engine management system can cause engine misfires, leading to rough running and decreased performance.
Vibration and engine mount wear
Given the powerful V8 configuration, engine mounts may wear out faster, leading to increased vibrations and noise.
Cooling system problems
The engine may overheat due to issues with the radiator, water pump, or cooling fans, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.
Oxygen sensor failure
The oxygen sensors in the exhaust system may fail over time, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture adjustments and potentially triggering the check engine light.
