Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V6 engines, particularly in older models, can develop oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and rear main seals.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain and its tensioner in V6 engines can wear out, leading to rattling noises, poor performance, and potential engine damage.

Coolant leaks

V6 engines may suffer from coolant leaks due to issues with the water pump, radiator, or head gaskets, leading to overheating.

Ignition coil failures

The ignition coils in V6 engines can fail, causing misfires, rough idling, and reduced performance.

Intake manifold gasket failure

The intake manifold gasket can deteriorate, leading to vacuum leaks, poor fuel economy, and engine performance issues.

Crankshaft position sensor issues

A faulty crankshaft position sensor can cause stalling, starting problems, and erratic engine behavior.

Fuel injector problems

V6 engines may experience clogged or malfunctioning fuel injectors, leading to poor performance and increased fuel consumption.

Mass air flow sensor failure

A failing mass air flow sensor can cause poor engine performance, rough idling, and decreased fuel efficiency.
