Known Issues for This Vehicle

Engine knocking

This can occur due to issues with the GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) system, potentially caused by carbon buildup on intake valves, which is common in direct injection engines.

Oil consumption

The KMC GDI Lambda-II engines are sometimes known for excessive oil consumption, which may require more frequent oil changes or engine inspection.

Timing chain wear

Some models with this engine have been reported to have premature wear on the timing chain, leading to potential engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel injector issues

Direct injection systems like those in the GDI Lambda-II can experience fuel injector clogging or failure, leading to poor performance or misfires.

Cooling system problems

There have been instances where the cooling system may not be as efficient, potentially leading to overheating if not maintained properly.

Engine stalling

This may occur due to issues with the electronic throttle control system or other related engine control components.

Carbon buildup
