Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to transfer force, and leaks can cause a loss of braking power.

Brake pedal feels spongy

Air in the hydraulic brake lines can make the brake pedal feel spongy and reduce braking effectiveness.

Worn brake pads or discs

Over time, brake pads and discs wear down, reducing braking performance and potentially causing damage to other components.

Brake caliper issues

Sticking or seized brake calipers can lead to uneven braking and increased wear on brake pads and discs.

Abs (anti-lock braking system) malfunctions

Faulty ABS sensors or control modules can cause the ABS to malfunction, leading to reduced braking control during emergency stops.

Brake warning light on

This can indicate various issues, from low brake fluid to problems with the brake system components.

Engine misfires

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

Coolant leaks

V-shaped engines can develop coolant leaks from the gasket or radiator, leading to overheating.

Timing chain or belt issues

Over time, the timing chain or belt may wear out, causing engine performance problems or potential engine damage.

Oil leaks

Common in older vehicles, oil leaks can occur from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other engine seals.

Fuel system issues

Problems with the fuel pump, fuel filter, or fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance or stalling.

Exhaust manifold cracks

V-shaped engines can experience cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and reduced engine performance.
