Most common problems:

Oil leaks

Common in older models, oil leaks can stem from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals deteriorating over time.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine performance and possibly severe engine damage if not addressed.

Cooling system problems

Radiators, water pumps, and thermostat failures are common, leading to overheating issues.

Fuel injector problems

Dirty or malfunctioning fuel injectors can cause rough idling, poor fuel economy, and engine misfires.

Mass airflow sensor failure

A faulty MAF sensor can cause poor engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Spark plug issues

Worn or fouled spark plugs can lead to misfires, rough idling, and difficulty starting the engine.

Crankshaft position sensor failure

A failing crankshaft position sensor can cause the engine to stall, fail to start, or run irregularly.

Vacuum leaks

Leaks in the vacuum system can cause erratic engine behavior and negatively impact performance.

Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve problems

EGR valve issues can lead to rough idling, poor acceleration, and increased emissions.

Camshaft adjuster solenoid failure

This can cause rough idling, poor engine performance, and triggering of the check engine light.
