Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on fluid to operate. Leaks in lines, hoses, or master cylinder can cause reduced braking efficiency.

Brake pedal sponginess

Air in the hydraulic lines can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy and reduce braking performance.

Brake master cylinder failure

A failing master cylinder can lead to inconsistent or complete loss of braking power.

Brake caliper issues

Calipers can seize or leak, leading to uneven braking or reduced braking power.

Brake rotor warping

Overheating or uneven wear can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations during braking.

Brake pad wear

Worn brake pads can reduce braking efficiency and increase stopping distances.

Brake line corrosion

Corrosion of brake lines can lead to leaks and potential brake failure.

Engine overheating

The 5VZ-FE engine may experience overheating issues due to cooling system problems such as a failing thermostat or radiator.

Head gasket failure

Common in older engines, this can lead to coolant leaks, engine overheating, and loss of compression.

Timing belt failure

The 5VZ-FE engine uses a timing belt that needs regular replacement. Failure can result in severe engine damage.

Oil leaks

Common oil leak points include the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gasket.

Fuel injector problems

Dirty or failing fuel injectors can cause rough idling, poor acceleration, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Ignition coil failure

Faulty ignition coils can cause misfires, rough idling, and poor engine performance.

Throttle body issues

Carbon buildup on the throttle body can lead to poor throttle response and stalling.

Oxygen sensor failure

Faulty oxygen sensors can cause poor fuel economy and increased emissions.

Exhaust manifold cracks

Cracks in the exhaust manifold can cause exhaust leaks, increased noise, and reduced engine performance.
