Known Issues for This Vehicle

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines like the LF1 can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and fuel efficiency.

Coolant leaks

There have been reports of coolant leaks from the water pump or other components, which can lead to overheating if not addressed.
