Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function. Leaks can lead to reduced braking power and potential brake failure.
Worn brake pads and rotors
Over time, brake pads and rotors wear down and need replacement to maintain effective braking performance.
Engine misfire
V-shaped engines, particularly older models, may experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Intake manifold gasket failure
The V6 engine may suffer from intake manifold gasket failures, leading to coolant or oil leaks and engine overheating.
Fuel injector problems
The Central Port Injection (CPI) system can develop issues with the fuel injectors, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain may wear out, leading to poor engine timing and potential engine damage.
Coolant leaks
Coolant leaks can occur from various points, such as the water pump or radiator, leading to engine overheating issues.
Faulty oxygen sensors
Faulty oxygen sensors can cause incorrect air-fuel mixture readings, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
Ignition system issues
Problems with the ignition system, such as worn spark plugs or faulty ignition coils, can lead to starting issues and rough engine performance.
