Most common problems:

Oil leaks

V6 engines, particularly in this model, can develop oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets.

Timing chain issues

Over time, the timing chain can stretch, leading to poor engine performance and potential engine damage if not addressed.

Misfires

Ignition coil and spark plug failures are common, which can cause engine misfires and reduced performance.

Coolant leaks

The engine may suffer from coolant leaks due to issues with the water pump or radiator.

Carbon buildup

Direct injection engines can accumulate carbon deposits on the intake valves, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.

Sensor failures

Oxygen sensors and mass air flow sensors can fail, leading to incorrect air-fuel mixture readings and engine performance issues.

Turbocharger problems

If equipped with a turbocharger, issues such as bearing failure or boost leaks can arise, affecting engine power.
