A soft or spongy brake pedal can result from air in the hydraulic lines or worn brake pads.

Active fuel management (afm) issues

The AFM system in the L83 engine can cause problems such as lifter failure or excessive oil consumption when switching between V4 and V8 modes.

Oil consumption

Some L83 engines have been reported to consume more oil than expected, potentially due to issues with the AFM system or piston rings.
