Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake pedal feels spongy
Air can get trapped in the hydraulic lines, causing a spongy brake pedal feel and reducing braking performance.
Warped brake rotors
Overheating or uneven wear can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations when braking.
Worn brake pads
Brake pads can wear down over time, resulting in reduced braking effectiveness and squealing noises.
Engine misfires
A V8 engine with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) can develop misfires due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, like the Ford 5.4L V8, can develop oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, or rear main seal.
Cooling system issues
The V8 engine can suffer from overheating due to issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat.
Timing chain wear
The timing chain in the V8 engine can stretch or wear over time, leading to engine performance problems or even engine failure.
Intake manifold gasket failure
The gasket can deteriorate, leading to coolant leaks and engine overheating.
