This is a known issue with the vehicle, which the company is aware of due to several lawsuits. I have already incurred costs for some repairs to make the car safe to operate, but the dealer has informed me that additional work is required.”Owner report · Engine · Aug 2025

“On [XXX] I stopped at a local gas station to refuel. Immediately after leaving the gas station I heard a loud noise and the car went into limp mode. All the warning light were illuminated and lots of white smoke poured out of tailpipes. The diagnosis was that the turbo had filled with oil destroying both the turbo and motor. Total repair costs were close to $17,000 for remanufactured turbo and motor. This seems to be the exact same issue others have noted.
