Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

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

Brake fade

Overheating of the brake system can cause the brake fluid to boil, leading to a temporary loss of braking power.

Soft brake pedal

Air entering the hydraulic brake lines can cause a spongy or soft brake pedal feel, reducing braking efficiency.

Warped brake rotors

Excessive heat can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations when braking.

Engine misfire

Issues with the electronic fuel injection system can cause an engine misfire, leading to rough running and reduced power.

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines, like the V6 in the Ford Explorer, are prone to oil leaks from valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.

Cooling system problems

Older models may experience radiator or coolant hose leaks, leading to engine overheating issues.

Timing chain wear

The timing chain on the 1994 Ford Explorer's V6 engine can stretch or wear out over time, potentially leading to engine timing issues.

Fuel injector problems

Faulty or clogged fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and difficulty starting.

Transmission issues

The automatic transmission in the 1994 Ford Explorer can be prone to slipping, hard shifts, or failure over time.

Electrical problems

Older vehicles often face issues with electrical components, such as alternators, starters, and wiring connections.

Exhaust system corrosion

The exhaust system may develop rust or corrosion over time, leading to exhaust leaks and increased emissions.
