Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake pedal feels spongy
Air trapped in the hydraulic lines can cause the brake pedal to feel less firm, reducing braking performance.
Warped brake rotors
Excessive heat or wear can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations during braking.
Engine overheating
The V-shaped LQ4 engine can experience cooling issues, such as a failing water pump, clogged radiator, or faulty thermostat, leading to overheating.
Oil consumption
The LQ4 engine may consume more oil than expected due to worn piston rings or valve seals.
Intake manifold gasket leaks
The manifold gasket can deteriorate over time, leading to vacuum leaks and engine performance issues.
Fuel injector problems
The Multiport Fuel Injection (MFI) system can develop issues with clogged or leaking fuel injectors, affecting engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, potentially leading to timing issues and poor engine performance.
Ignition coil failure
The LQ4 engine may experience ignition coil failures, leading to misfires and reduced engine performance.
Catalytic converter failure
A failing catalytic converter can cause poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Transmission issues
The transmission in the 2006 Chevrolet Express may develop problems like slipping, hard shifts, or failure due to wear and tear.
