Sporadic acceleration problems and stalling that dealerships could not reproduce during inspection, later resulting in a breakdown on the highway.
Fuel injector or high-pressure rail failure reported at very low mileage, accompanied by shaking and a burning or gasoline smell.
Multiple owners report fuel injectors being replaced more than once, with white smoke and a gasoline odor accompanying rough running.
