- Multitronic CVT FailureSerious
Front-wheel-drive automatics use the Multitronic CVT which can judder, flare or lose drive if fluid changes were skipped or the control unit fails.
- Timing Chain Tensioner FailureSerious
Pre-2013 EA888 Gen 1 and Gen 2 engines have a plastic timing chain tensioner that can fail, causing chain slack and potential engine destruction.
