Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function properly; leaks can lead to reduced braking efficiency or complete brake failure.

Worn brake pads and rotors

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

Abs (anti-lock braking system) failure

The ABS system can malfunction due to sensor or control module issues, leading to reduced braking control under hard braking.

Engine overheating

V-shaped engines, especially older ones, can suffer from cooling system failures, leading to overheating issues.

Fuel system problems

This includes issues like clogged fuel injectors or a failing fuel pump, which can affect engine performance and efficiency.

Oil leaks

Older engines, such as the 1999 Chevrolet Suburban's V8, are prone to oil leaks from gaskets and seals.

Spark plug and ignition system issues

Worn spark plugs or ignition components can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance.

Timing chain/belt wear

Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out, potentially leading to engine timing issues and poor performance.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The intake manifold gasket can fail, causing coolant leaks and engine performance issues.

Transmission problems

Older vehicles can experience automatic transmission issues such as slipping, hard shifting, or fluid leaks.

Suspension wear

The suspension components, including bushings, shocks, and struts, can wear out over time, leading to a rough ride and poor handling.

Rust and corrosion

As the vehicle ages, it can suffer from rust and corrosion, particularly on the chassis and undercarriage, affecting structural integrity.
