Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function. Leaks in the brake lines, hoses, or master cylinder can reduce braking efficiency and cause the brakes to fail.

Brake pedal issues

A soft or spongy brake pedal can indicate air in the brake lines or a problem with the master cylinder. A hard brake pedal can suggest a problem with the brake booster.

Worn brake pads

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

Brake rotor warping

Excessive heat and wear can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.

Abs malfunctions

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can fail due to sensor issues, wiring problems, or a faulty ABS module, leading to reduced braking performance in emergency situations.

Engine misfiring

With a V6 engine, issues like faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors can cause misfiring, leading to rough running and reduced power.

Overheating

Cooling system problems such as a faulty thermostat, water pump, or radiator can cause the engine to overheat.

Oil leaks

Common in older engines, oil leaks can occur from gaskets, seals, or the oil pan, leading to reduced engine lubrication and potential damage.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain can wear out or become loose over time, causing engine performance problems and potential damage if it fails.

Fuel system problems

Issues with the Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, such as clogged fuel injectors or a failing fuel pump, can cause poor engine performance and fuel economy.

Exhaust leaks

Cracks or holes in the exhaust manifold or other parts of the exhaust system can cause noise, reduced efficiency, and increased emissions.
