Engine Mounts:
Degradation of engine mounts leading to increased vibration can be a common issue in higher mileage vehicles.
Automatic Transmission Shifting:
Some automatic transmissions can develop shifting issues or torque converter problems over time, particularly with insufficient maintenance.
Suspension Bushings:
Wear and tear on suspension bushings can lead to clunking noises and imprecise handling.
Oil Leaks:
Valve cover gaskets and oil pan gaskets can deteriorate, leading to oil leaks.
