odiwik Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I just picked up an 09 OBXT and I need to know what to look out for. I've heard about a few things and would like some more information: 1) Turbo stutter - I've heard some have an issue w/ this at 2500-3000k RPM, what is the story w/ it? 2) Turbo failures - I've read a lot about stock turbos giving up the ghost. Why do they fail and how do I prevent it? Were these issues fixed for the 2009 chassis? 3) Engine bearing failures - I've seen a few issues here as well where rod knock begins for seemingly no reason. Why does this happen and how do I prevent it? 4) Should I expect the same issues those of you w/ the Legacy sedan models are having? 5) If this was bought w/ 7 miles on it, how do I check what TSBs apply to this vehicle? I'd like to make sure my dealers are correct! 6) What other issues should I be aware of on the 2009 2.5xt models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icegrill Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Loose body cladding around wheel wells/doors, exterior trim problems. Those have been my major issues for 1.5 years of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
