Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

Brake fade

Overheating of the brake components due to excessive use can lead to reduced braking power.

Worn brake pads

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

Engine misfires

The V6 engine may experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Timing chain tensioner failure

In V-shaped engines, timing chain tensioners can wear out, causing timing issues and potentially severe engine damage if not addressed.

Coolant leaks

V6 engines can develop coolant leaks from gaskets or hoses, leading to overheating problems.

Efi sensor failures

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems rely on various sensors that can fail over time, causing poor engine performance or stalling.

Exhaust manifold cracks

V6 engines, especially older ones, are prone to developing cracks in the exhaust manifold, which can lead to exhaust leaks and reduced engine efficiency.

Oil leaks

Common in older Ford engines, oil leaks can occur from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.

Fuel pump failure

The fuel pump can wear out over time, leading to fuel delivery problems and engine stalling.
