Brake pads wear out
Over time, brake pads can wear down, reducing braking performance and requiring replacement.
Brake rotor issues
Warped or damaged brake rotors can cause vibrations or reduced braking effectiveness.
Coolant leaks
V-shaped engines, like the 6-cylinder in the Oldsmobile Bravada, can develop coolant leaks at the head gasket or water pump.
Engine misfires
A V6 engine might experience misfires due to ignition system issues, such as bad spark plugs or faulty ignition coils.
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines can develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.
Timing chain/belt issues
Timing components can wear out, leading to poor engine performance or even engine damage if not addressed.
Fuel injector problems
Dirty or failing fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Intake manifold gasket leaks
In V-shaped engines, the intake manifold gasket can deteriorate, causing vacuum leaks and poor performance.
Exhaust manifold cracks
V6 engines can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.
