Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid, and any leaks can lead to decreased brake performance or even brake failure.
Brake wear
The brake pads and rotors can wear out over time, leading to decreased braking efficiency and the need for replacement.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder can fail, leading to a loss of hydraulic pressure and brake functionality.
Brake line damage
Brake lines can become corroded or damaged, resulting in fluid leaks and decreased brake performance.
Warped brake rotors
Excessive heat or wear can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibration and reduced braking effectiveness.
Brake caliper issues
Calipers can seize or leak, which can cause uneven braking and reduced brake performance.
Abs sensor failure
Problems with the ABS sensors can lead to malfunctioning of the anti-lock braking system.
Engine misfire
Common in older engines, misfires can result from issues with the spark plugs, fuel injectors, or ignition coils.
Head gasket failure
Can cause coolant and oil to mix, leading to overheating and engine damage.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to engine timing issues.
Fuel system contamination
Dirt or water in the fuel system can cause poor engine performance or stalling.
Oxygen sensor failure
Faulty oxygen sensors can lead to poor fuel economy and increased emissions.
Throttle body issues
Carbon buildup in the throttle body can cause poor throttle response and stalling.
Radiator leaks
Coolant leaks from the radiator can cause the engine to overheat.
