Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid, and leaks can reduce braking efficiency.

Brake fade

Overheating of brake components can cause a loss of braking power.

Air in brake lines

Air pockets can reduce the hydraulic pressure, leading to spongy brakes.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder is crucial for generating hydraulic pressure; its failure can lead to complete brake loss.

Worn brake pads or shoes

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

Warped brake rotors

Warped rotors can cause vibrations and reduce braking efficiency.

Faulty calipers

Calipers that do not function properly can lead to uneven braking and reduced stopping power.

Vacuum booster issues

Failures in the brake booster can make the brake pedal hard to press.

Electronic fuel injection problems

Issues with the EFI system can affect the engine performance, indirectly impacting braking if the engine's power is compromised.

Engine overheating

The 3VZ-E engine is known to have overheating issues, which can affect overall vehicle performance including braking.

Timing belt failure

The 3VZ-E engine uses a timing belt, which if it fails, can cause extensive engine damage, affecting the vehicle's operation.

Head gasket failure

The 3VZ-E engine is prone to head gasket issues, which can lead to overheating and engine performance problems.

Throttle position sensor (tps) issues

Problems with the TPS can affect throttle response and engine power.

Fuel injector clogging

Clogged fuel injectors can lead to poor engine performance and efficiency.
