- 12V Battery Drain & Deep Sleep Bugs(Moderate)
The auxiliary 12V battery can drain if the car is left for several days. On earlier models, this was often due to the car failing to enter a "deep sleep" mode, sometimes exacerbated by frequent Bluelink app pings or third-party tracking apps.
- Clutch Actuator Fluid Leak(Serious)
An internal leak in the hydraulic clutch actuator can lead to an electrical short and is a known fire risk. Most affected cars were recalled.
- DCT Hesitation & Shudder(Moderate)
The 6-speed DCT can feel hesitant or "shudder" when pulling away, particularly in cold weather or stop-start traffic.
