Most common problems:

Turbocharger failure

The 2.3L GTDI engine is turbocharged, and turbocharger units can fail prematurely due to oil supply issues or excessive wear.

Timing belt/chain issues

Over time, timing belts or chains can wear out, leading to potential engine damage if not replaced according to the maintenance schedule.

Carbon build-up

Direct injection engines, like the 2.3L GTDI, can suffer from carbon build-up on the intake valves, leading to reduced performance and efficiency.

Coolant leaks

There have been reports of coolant leaks in some Ford engines, which can lead to overheating and engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Ignition coil failures

The ignition coils in the 2.3L GTDI can fail, causing misfires and poor engine performance.

Fuel injector problems

Faulty fuel injectors can lead to poor fuel economy, rough idling, and engine performance issues.
