Known Issues for This Vehicle
Oil consumption
The DOHC T-GDI engines are known to consume more oil than usual, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored.
Carbon buildup
Direct injection engines like the DOHC T-GDI can suffer from carbon buildup on intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.
Turbocharger issues
Turbochargers in these engines can experience problems such as wastegate failure or boost leaks, affecting performance and fuel economy.
Engine knocking
This can occur due to the high compression nature of the T-GDI engine, often linked to poor fuel quality or ignition timing issues.
