Problems:
Leaking brake fluid
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders, leading to decreased braking performance.
Soft or spongy brake pedal
Air can enter the hydraulic lines, causing a soft or spongy brake pedal feel, which reduces braking efficiency.
Warped brake rotors
Over time, brake rotors can warp due to excessive heat, leading to vibrations or pulsations when braking.
Sticking brake calipers
Brake calipers can seize or stick, causing uneven wear on brake pads and reduced braking performance.
Low brake pedal pressure
Issues with the brake master cylinder or brake booster can lead to low brake pedal pressure, compromising braking effectiveness.
Clogged fuel injectors
Electronic fuel injection systems can suffer from clogged injectors, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Engine misfires
Problems with the ignition system, such as faulty spark plugs or ignition coils, can cause engine misfires, reducing engine performance.
Vacuum leaks
Vacuum leaks in the intake system can lead to rough idling, poor acceleration, and overall decreased engine performance.
Overheating
The cooling system can develop issues, such as a faulty thermostat or radiator, leading to engine overheating.
Worn timing chain/belt
A worn or stretched timing chain/belt can lead to poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.
Oil leaks
Common in older engines, oil leaks can occur from gaskets, seals, or the oil pan, leading to reduced oil levels and potential engine damage.
Failing fuel pump
A failing fuel pump can cause inconsistent fuel delivery, leading to engine stalling or difficulty starting.
Faulty oxygen sensors
Malfunctioning oxygen sensors can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture adjustments, reducing engine efficiency and increasing emissions.
