Description of the problem | I have the turbo diesel version. I was driving on hwy 695 in baltimore, maryland during rush hour (0800ish) when i began to accelerate only to lose power. The car had just enough power to get me off the road and become stranded on the side of this major highway for 80+ minutes. Dealership reported failed turbo. This was not a pleasant experience and one that i hope others do not have to experience. |
