Thermostat housing leaks
The thermostat housing can develop leaks over time, leading to coolant loss and potential overheating.
Crankshaft position sensor failure
The crankshaft position sensor can fail, causing the engine to stall, misfire, or not start at all.
Timing belt/chain issues
Problems with the timing belt or chain can lead to poor engine performance and, in severe cases, catastrophic engine damage.
Oil leaks
V6 engines in this model are prone to oil leaks, particularly from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan.
Coolant system failure
The cooling system, especially the radiator and hoses, may deteriorate, leading to coolant leaks and engine overheating.
Intake manifold gasket failure
The intake manifold gasket can fail, causing air leaks that lead to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
Fuel injector problems
Faulty or clogged fuel injectors can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.
Ignition coil failure
Ignition coils can fail and lead to engine misfires, rough idling, and difficulty starting the vehicle.
Excessive engine noise
This could be due to worn-out timing chains, lifters, or other internal engine components.
