Your 1.5T engine may be experiencing a head gasket failure that causes coolant to slowly leak into the cylinders, leading to gradual coolant loss and sudden overheating. This defect typically appears around 100,000 to 140,000 miles and can cause a sudden loss of power while driving, creating a safety hazard. Fixing this issue usually requires replacing the head gasket or potentially the entire engine, which is an expensive repair.

NHTSA #: 11726709

While driving on the highway, your engine suddenly shut off without warning, causing a complete loss of power and making it difficult to control your car around other traffic. All the warning lights on your dashboard lit up at once during the incident. A mechanic later found that your head gasket failed and your turbocharger had issues. The fix will likely involve replacing the head gasket and turbocharger components.

While driving at 70 MPH, your engine suddenly lost power and slowed to 5 MPH due to a blown head gasket. The check engine light came on, and the dealer found misfires in cylinders #2 and #3 along with a computer error code.
