Brake pad and rotor wear
Over time, brake pads and rotors wear down and may need to be replaced to maintain effective braking.
Abs sensor issues
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail or become dirty, leading to issues with the ABS system.
Hydraulic hose deterioration
The hydraulic hoses can deteriorate due to age or exposure to harsh conditions, leading to leaks or ruptures.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder, which is responsible for generating hydraulic pressure, can fail and cause a loss of braking power.
Engine overheating
The Navistar V8 engine in this model can be prone to overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained.
Fuel injector problems
The fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
