Known Issues for This Vehicle
Oil consumption
The VK45DE engine is known to have issues with excessive oil consumption, which can lead to low oil levels and potential engine damage if not monitored regularly.
Timing chain wear
Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, leading to poor engine performance and potentially severe internal damage if the timing chain fails.
Valve cover gasket leaks
The valve cover gaskets can deteriorate, leading to oil leaks. This can cause oil to drip onto hot engine parts, potentially causing smoke or even fire hazards.

The cooling system may develop leaks or the radiator may become clogged, leading to overheating problems which can cause significant engine damage if not addressed.
Spark plug and ignition coil problems
Misfires and rough running can occur due to faulty spark plugs or ignition coils. This can affect fuel efficiency and overall engine performance.
Camshaft and crankshaft position sensor failures
These sensors can fail, leading to poor engine performance, stalling, or difficulty starting the vehicle.
Fuel injector problems
Fuel injectors may become clogged or fail, leading to poor fuel delivery, reduced power, and increased emissions.
Mass air flow (maf) sensor issues
A faulty MAF sensor can lead to incorrect air-fuel mixture, causing rough idling, poor acceleration, and decreased fuel efficiency.
