Car begin smoking out of the back took car to dealership car oil was low. Car dealership refilled oil and told me to come back after driving 1000 miles. Car began smoking again like it was going to catch on fire took car in was told the turbo boost failed. Dealership mention that the turbo boost was previously repaired and under warranty so they repaired it. Car started smoking again I took car to dealership to get an oil change and made them aware that the car was smoking bad again. I was informed that it takes a while for the oil to burn out of the exhaust. Two days later I when to the store to pick up my medication and once again the car began smoking and the smoke was comin into the car, the check engiene like came on and the oil light came on as I was driving. The car began to make ding sound and start stuttering like it was going to shut off. I tried to acclerator and the car was still going slow as I was driving on a busy street. I got the car home and the next day called to have it towed to dealership. 3/2/2023 Called the dealership because I have not heard from them and was informed that the turbo boost failed again.

On Wednesday 4/7/21 my car showed a warning of low oil pressure 1X for about 6 seconds. The engine light was on after that. Took it to a local tuffy shop. Both turbos are blown!! the engine light brings up emission problem and catylytic converter. Nothing about any engine issues!! the mechanic said there is oil shooting into my engine!! I just got an oil change 3 weeks ago, my cars oil meter reads fine. No low oil!!! the car drives fine. No indication. No oil leak, brand new oil pan, oil is not low!! how is this possible"? the car is as quiet as a church mouse. No engine knocking, no overheating nothing. This is obvious a problem. Why isn't there a recall on the turbos if they know they go bad???? what is the indicator??" I need help with a new engine, I love this car😭😭😭
