Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

In hydraulic brake systems, leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers can cause a loss of brake fluid, leading to reduced braking performance or brake failure.

Brake pad wear

Over time, brake pads wear down and need to be replaced. Worn brake pads can reduce braking efficiency and cause damage to the brake rotors.

Abs system failure

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can sometimes fail due to sensor malfunctions or electrical issues, leading to a loss of ABS functionality.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can wear out or develop internal leaks, leading to a spongy brake pedal or loss of braking power.

Brake rotor warping

Brake rotors can become warped from excessive heat or uneven wear, causing vibrations or pulsations when braking.

Brake caliper issues

Calipers can seize or develop leaks, leading to uneven braking or reduced braking effectiveness.

Ignition coil failure

In V6 engines, ignition coil problems can cause misfires, poor engine performance, and difficulty starting the engine.

Fuel injector issues

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor fuel economy, rough idling, and reduced engine performance.

Timing chain tensioner failure

The timing chain tensioner can wear out, leading to timing chain noise or even engine damage if the timing chain jumps.

Exhaust manifold leaks

Exhaust manifold leaks can cause a ticking noise, poor engine performance, and increased emissions.

Cooling system problems

Issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can cause the engine to overheat, leading to potential engine damage.

Transmission issues

The transmission can develop problems such as slipping, hard shifting, or failure to engage gears, affecting the vehicle's drivability.
