Typical engine symptoms owners report

  • Owners describe a ticking or knocking noise from the engine that grows louder and is followed by a loss of power or complete engine failure, sometimes tied to lifter issues.
  • Some vehicles stall or shut off without warning while driving at highway speed, shifting unexpectedly into neutral or park and losing steering and braking assist momentarily.
  • Several owners report the engine will not start at all, sometimes accompanied by a 'no key detected' message or repeated dead-battery incidents despite battery replacement.
  • Some drivers experienced a check engine light with a P1098 code and a 'reduced acceleration' warning that noticeably weakened vehicle performance.
  • A few owners report the vehicle coming to a stop on its own mid-drive, refusing to shift into any gear, and needing a tow.
