Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders, leading to reduced braking performance.

Brake fade

Overuse or overheating of the brakes can cause brake fade, reducing stopping power and increasing stopping distance.

Warped brake rotors

Heavy use or excessive heat can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.

Worn brake pads

Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced to maintain proper braking performance.

Air in brake lines

Air can enter the hydraulic system, causing spongy brakes and reducing braking effectiveness.

Engine misfires

The inline-6 engine can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Coolant leaks

The engine may develop coolant leaks from the radiator, hoses, or water pump, leading to overheating.

Oil leaks

Common areas for oil leaks include the valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and front or rear main seals.

Turbocharger issues

If equipped with a turbocharger, the engine may experience turbo lag, oil leaks, or bearing wear.

Fuel system problems

Issues with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance or stalling.
