Some Pontiac Torrent owners report experiencing issues such as losing brake fluid without any visible leaks, which may be due to a cracked or leaking brake fluid reservoir. Additionally, the brake warning light could indicate a major brake component failure, often resulting in a "mushy" brake pedal due to pressure loss. Furthermore, some owners face engine overheating warnings, potentially caused by insufficient coolant levels, coolant leaks from hoses or the radiator, a malfunctioning thermostat, or faulty cooling fans. Concerns about head gasket issues may arise if symptoms like engine overheating and power loss are present. To mitigate these problems, it is recommended that owners regularly maintain their coolant system and brake fluid, and consult a mechanic for inspections if issues persist.
