- 1.5 EcoBoost Cylinder Block Coolant Intrusion & OverheatingSerious
A structural slit between the cylinder bore liners allows engine coolant to breach the head gasket and leak directly into cylinders 2 and 3, causing engine misfires, white exhaust vapor, and fatal engine seizure.
- PowerShift 6-Speed Dual-Clutch (6DCT450) Valve Body Shudder & TCM FaultsSerious
The 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission suffers from clutch wear debris clogging internal solenoids in the mechatronic valve body, causing harsh engagement, slipping, and gearbox limp mode.
