The Dynamic Brake Support system may fail to engage properly, leading to reduced braking efficiency or delayed response during emergency braking situations.

The GDI-TAU engine, with its 8 cylinders, might experience misfires due to issues with spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.

This engine model may have higher oil consumption, often due to piston ring wear or valve seal issues, requiring frequent oil top-ups.

If this engine is turbocharged, it may face issues like turbo lag, bearing wear, or oil leaks, leading to reduced performance.

GDI engines are prone to clogging or failure of fuel injectors, which can cause poor fuel economy, rough idling, or starting problems.

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, causing poor engine performance or even engine failure if not addressed.

The engine may experience overheating due to issues with the radiator, water pump, or coolant leaks.

Although not directly an engine issue, the transmission linked with this engine may face issues like slipping, harsh shifts, or failure, affecting overall vehicle performance.

The V8 engine may develop issues causing vibrations or rough idling, often due to engine mounts, balance issues, or misfiring cylinders.

Various sensor or electronic control unit (ECU) issues can trigger the check engine light, necessitating diagnostic checks to pinpoint the exact problem.

Dynamic Brake Support (DBS) may fail to activate correctly, reducing its ability to assist in emergency braking situations.

The GDI TAU engine may experience misfires due to issues with fuel injection, ignition coils, or spark plugs.

This engine model may have higher-than-normal oil consumption, requiring frequent oil level checks and top-ups.

Direct injection engines like the GDI TAU are prone to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can affect performance and fuel efficiency.

Various sensor failures or engine control module (ECM) issues can trigger the check engine light, requiring diagnostic scans to pinpoint the exact problem.

Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can lead to overheating, especially in high-performance engines like the GDI TAU.

Although not directly related to the engine, issues with the transmission can affect overall vehicle performance, especially in a high-torque engine.

Leaks or blockages in the exhaust system can lead to reduced engine efficiency and increased emissions.

Contaminants in the fuel system can cause clogging of injectors and fuel filters, affecting engine performance.

Electrical problems can interfere with the engine's electronic control systems, leading to starting issues or erratic performance.
