Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, causing a loss of braking power and requiring immediate repair.
Brake fade
Prolonged braking or aggressive driving can cause brake fade, where the brakes lose effectiveness due to overheating.
Warped brake rotors
Frequent heavy braking can cause the rotors to warp, leading to vibrations or pulsations during braking.
Brake pad wear
Brake pads wear down over time and require regular replacement to maintain braking performance.
Oil consumption
The HEMI V8 engine may consume oil at higher rates, especially as it ages, necessitating more frequent oil checks and top-ups.
Misfires
The V8 configuration can experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
Engine knock
The HEMI engine can develop knocking noises due to carbon buildup or issues with the fuel system.
Cooling system problems
The V8 engine generates significant heat, which can strain the cooling system, leading to potential overheating if not properly maintained.
Multiple displacement system (mds) issues
The HEMI's MDS, which deactivates cylinders to save fuel, can sometimes malfunction, causing rough idling or reduced performance.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear, potentially leading to timing issues that affect engine performance.
Exhaust manifold cracks
The V8 engine's exhaust manifolds can crack, causing exhaust leaks and reducing engine efficiency.
