Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid pressure, and any leaks can result in a loss of braking power.

Soft brake pedal

Air in the hydraulic lines can cause a soft or spongy brake pedal, reducing braking efficiency.

Brake rotor wear

Over time, brake rotors can become worn or warped, leading to vibrations and reduced braking performance.

Brake pad wear

Brake pads wear down with use and need to be replaced periodically to maintain effective braking.

Abs sensor failure

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail, leading to a loss of ABS functionality and increased stopping distances.

Oil consumption

The LM7 engine may experience higher oil consumption, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Knocking noise

V8 engines like the LM7 can develop knocking noises due to issues such as improper fuel octane, worn bearings, or piston slap.

Coolant leaks

The cooling system components, like hoses and the radiator, can develop leaks, leading to overheating and potential engine damage.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The gaskets can fail, causing coolant or air leaks, which can result in poor engine performance.

Throttle body issues

The throttle body can become dirty or malfunction, leading to poor acceleration and engine stalling.

Fuel pump failure

The fuel pump can fail, leading to a lack of fuel delivery to the engine and causing it to stall or not start.

Transmission problems

The automatic transmission in the 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe can experience issues such as slipping, hard shifts, or failure to engage.
