Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid pressure, and any leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers can lead to reduced braking performance or failure.

Brake fade

Overheating of the brake components due to excessive use or a malfunctioning brake system can cause a temporary loss of braking power.

Worn brake pads or rotors

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need to be replaced to maintain effective braking.

Abs (anti-lock braking system) issues

Faulty ABS sensors or module can lead to the ABS warning light coming on and the system not functioning properly.

Throttle body issues

The LQ9 engine can experience carbon buildup on the throttle body, leading to poor throttle response or idling issues.

Intake manifold gasket leaks

The LQ9 engine can suffer from intake manifold gasket leaks, leading to vacuum leaks and poor engine performance.

Faulty knock sensors

The LQ9 engine may have issues with knock sensors failing, causing the engine to run rough or trigger the check engine light.

Fuel pump failure

The fuel pump in the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado can fail, leading to engine stalling or difficulty starting.

Transmission problems

The automatic transmission in the Silverado can experience issues such as slipping, hard shifts, or failure to engage gears properly.

Electrical issues

Problems with the vehicle's electrical system, such as faulty wiring or failing alternator, can lead to various malfunctions, including starting issues or loss of power to accessories.

Cooling system problems

The Silverado can have issues with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat, leading to engine overheating.
