- 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.
- Electric Power Steering (EPAS) Motor Drive Belt Snapping & Sudden Assist LossSerious
The internal toothed belt driving the recirculating ball steering rack from the electric assist motor degrades from road spray and salt, snapping and instantly leaving the driver with heavy unassisted steering.
