• 2010 model issues: It’s best to avoid the 2010 model year, which had the most complaints, including premature clutch failure and suspension problems.
• Transmission control module (TCM): A widespread issue in automatic transmission models is failure of the TCM, which can cause erratic shifting or complete loss of power.
• Premature clutch wear

  : Manual transmission models, particularly from the 2010 model year, are known to have premature clutch failure.

• Rust issues: This generation is susceptible to rust, particularly in northern climates where salt is used on roads.
• Melting dashboard: Dashboards can become sticky or “melt” after prolonged sun exposure.
• Defective TPMS sensor valve stems

  : A common issue is the corrosion and breaking of the metal stems for the tire pressure monitoring system.

• Rear suspension noise: Many owners report rattling or clunking from the rear suspension, often caused by loose sway bar links. 

• Engine: 2.3L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, 263 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque.
• Transmission: 6-speed manual transmission.
• Drivetrain: The car is front-wheel-drive but uses a limited-slip differential to help manage the power and minimize torque steer

  . 

• • Engine reliability: The MZR 2.3L DISI engine can be unreliable if not properly maintained, especially on cars with modifications or a hard life.
  • Fuel pump issues: Early failure of the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) was a critical issue, and many owners upgrade to aftermarket pumps for better reliability.

• Boost leaks: Due to the high turbo pressure, boost leaks from cracked intercooler piping or loose vacuum lines are a common problem.
• Torque steer: Because all 263 horsepower is sent to the front wheels, torque steer is a notable characteristic, especially under hard acceleration.
• Motor mounts

  : The stock motor mounts, especially the rear mount, are often seen as too weak and can fail over time, resulting in excessive engine movement.
