This can be caused by air in the brake lines or deteriorated brake fluid.

Worn brake pads or rotors

Over time, brake pads and rotors wear out and need to be replaced to ensure effective braking.

Abs system issues

The ABS system can malfunction, leading to an illuminated ABS warning light or reduced braking performance.

Engine misfires

The in-line 6-cylinder LL8 engine may experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, coil packs, or fuel injectors.

Oil leaks

Common in older GM engines, oil leaks can occur from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, or other seals.

Timing chain problems

The LL8 engine uses a timing chain which can stretch or wear out, leading to engine performance issues or noise.

Problems with the water pump, radiator, or thermostat can lead to overheating.
