Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in brake lines, hoses, or at the master cylinder, leading to decreased braking performance.
Warped brake rotors
Excessive heat can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations when braking.
Brake pad wear
Brake pads wear down over time and need regular replacement to ensure proper braking performance.
Vacuum booster failure
The brake booster, which uses vacuum pressure to assist in braking, can fail, resulting in a hard brake pedal and increased stopping distance.
Brake caliper sticking
Brake calipers can seize up or stick, causing uneven brake pad wear and pulling to one side during braking.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder can wear out or fail, resulting in a spongy brake pedal or complete brake failure.
Engine misfires
The V8 engine can develop misfires due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors, leading to rough running and reduced performance.
Camshaft and lifter issues
The HEMI engine can experience camshaft and lifter wear, causing ticking noises and potentially more severe engine damage if not addressed.
Oil consumption
Some SRT HEMI engines are known for consuming oil more quickly than expected, requiring more frequent top-ups.
Cooling system problems
The engine may experience overheating issues due to a failing water pump, thermostat, or radiator.
Exhaust manifold leaks
The exhaust manifold can develop cracks or leaks, leading to increased engine noise and potential emissions problems.
Transmission issues
The vehicle may experience transmission problems such as hard shifting, slipping, or failure to engage gears properly.
Suspension wear
Components such as bushings, control arms, and ball joints can wear out, leading to poor handling and ride quality.

Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems are prone to leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, which can lead to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake pad wear
Over time, brake pads wear down and can cause decreased braking performance or grinding noises, necessitating replacement.
Warped brake rotors
Heat and stress can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations when braking.
Engine misfires
The V8 configuration can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Oil consumption
The HEMI engine may consume more oil than usual, which can lead to lower oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored.
Valve lifter noise
HEMI engines are known for noisy valve lifters, which can be caused by insufficient oil pressure or wear and tear.
Cooling system leaks
V8 engines generate significant heat, and cooling system leaks in hoses, radiators, or water pumps can lead to overheating.
Timing chain issues
Over time, the timing chain can wear or stretch, leading to poor engine performance or even engine failure if not addressed.
Fuel economy
The V8 engine, especially with the HEMI Multiple Displacement System, may still have lower fuel economy, particularly if the displacement system is not functioning correctly.
Exhaust manifold leaks
Exhaust manifolds on V8 engines can develop cracks or gasket failures, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
