Problems:
Oil leaks
Common in older vehicles and can be due to worn gaskets or seals.
Timing belt issues
Critical as failure can lead to significant engine damage; should be replaced every 60,000 miles.
Coolant leaks
Can cause overheating; often due to worn hoses or radiator issues.
Transmission problems
Reports of difficulty in shifting or slipping, often due to worn synchros in manual transmissions.
Electrical issues
Problems with the alternator or battery, leading to starting issues.
Vacuum leaks
Can cause rough idling and poor engine performance; often due to cracked or brittle vacuum hoses.
Ignition coil failure
Can lead to misfires and poor engine performance, particularly in vehicles with high mileage.
Turbocharger issues (if equipped)
Turbo models may experience turbo lag or failure due to bearing wear or oil supply problems.

Problems:
Brake fluid leak
Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, leading to decreased braking performance.
Worn brake pads/rotors
Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need replacement to maintain effective braking.
Air in brake lines
Air can enter the hydraulic brake lines, causing a spongy brake pedal and reduced braking efficiency.
Overheating engine
The V-shaped engine configuration in older models like the 1995 Mitsubishi Montero may face overheating issues due to aging components or coolant system failures.
Timing belt wear
The V6 engine relies on a timing belt, which can wear out and potentially cause severe engine damage if not replaced at recommended intervals.
Fuel injector problems
The Multi-Point Injection (MPI) system can develop issues such as clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
Cylinder head gasket failure
This V6 engine may experience head gasket failures, which can lead to coolant leaks, overheating, and engine damage.
Oil leaks
Older engines like the 1995 Montero's V6 often develop oil leaks from gaskets, seals, or the oil pan.
Idle control valve issues
Problems with the idle control valve can cause rough idling or stalling, particularly in older MPI systems.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The exhaust manifold can develop cracks over time, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
