Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to operate effectively. Leaks can reduce braking efficiency or cause brake failure.

Brake pedal feels spongy

Air in the hydraulic lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy, reducing braking performance.

Worn brake pads

Over time, brake pads wear down and need replacement to maintain effective braking.

Brake caliper issues

Sticking or seized calipers can cause uneven braking and increase wear on brake components.

Vacuum leaks

In a vehicle with a vacuum-assisted brake booster, leaks can reduce braking effectiveness.

Engine misfire

V-shaped engines, like the V6 in this model, can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Cooling system problems

V-shaped engines can have complex cooling systems that may develop leaks or blockages, leading to overheating.

Oil leaks

V6 engines have multiple gaskets and seals that can deteriorate over time, causing oil leaks.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The V6 configuration can sometimes lead to intake manifold gasket failures, causing coolant or vacuum leaks.

Timing chain/belt issues

As the engine ages, the timing chain or belt may stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine performance or failure.

Fuel pump failure

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

Faulty cpi (central port injection) system

Issues with the CPI system can lead to rough idling, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.

Egr valve problems

The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, causing rough idling and increased emissions.

Vacuum hose deterioration

The numerous vacuum hoses in the engine can deteriorate over time, leading to vacuum leaks and engine performance issues.
