Most common problems:

Brake fluid leak

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or brake calipers, leading to reduced braking performance.

Brake pedal spongy or soft

Air in the hydraulic brake lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy or soft, which affects braking efficiency.

Brake pads and rotors wear

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need replacement to maintain braking performance.

Overheating issues

V-shaped engines, especially V8s, can sometimes have overheating problems due to issues with the cooling system, like a failing water pump or a clogged radiator.

Oil leaks

WRN V8 engines are prone to oil leaks from valve covers, oil pans, or gaskets, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage.

Misfiring cylinders

V8 engines can have issues with misfiring cylinders due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

Fuel efficiency problems

Older V8 engines, like those in a 1998 GMC Savana, can suffer from poor fuel efficiency due to aging components and less advanced fuel management systems.

Transmission issues

Automatic transmissions in older vehicles may experience slipping, hard shifting, or failure due to wear and tear or insufficient maintenance.

Exhaust system corrosion

Over time, the exhaust system can rust and develop leaks, which affects engine performance and emissions.

Electrical problems

Older vehicles can have electrical issues due to aging wiring, faulty sensors, or worn-out alternators and batteries.
