Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in lines, hoses, or connections, reducing braking efficiency.

Brake pedal feels spongy

Air can enter the hydraulic brake system, causing a spongy feeling when the brake pedal is pressed.

Brake pads wear out

Over time, brake pads can wear down, reducing braking performance and requiring replacement.

Brake rotor issues

Warped or damaged brake rotors can cause vibrations or reduced braking effectiveness.

Coolant leaks

V-shaped engines, like the 6-cylinder in the Oldsmobile Bravada, can develop coolant leaks at the head gasket or water pump.

Engine misfires

A V6 engine might experience misfires due to ignition system issues, such as bad spark plugs or faulty ignition coils.

Oil leaks

V-shaped engines can develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or rear main seals.

Timing chain/belt issues

Timing components can wear out, leading to poor engine performance or even engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel injector problems

Dirty or failing fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.

Intake manifold gasket leaks

In V-shaped engines, the intake manifold gasket can deteriorate, causing vacuum leaks and poor performance.

Exhaust manifold cracks

V6 engines can develop cracks in the exhaust manifold, leading to exhaust leaks and increased engine noise.

Transmission issues

1991 Oldsmobile Bravada models can experience transmission problems, such as slipping or rough shifting.

Electrical issues

Older vehicles like the 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada may experience electrical problems, such as faulty wiring or failing sensors.
