Around June of this year, my engine light came on. I took it to my technician, who cleared the code. After an accident on 7/4/23, and after picking the car up from being repaired, the engine light came on again. It is a code that indicates there is a "Cracked or faulty turbo charger". Extensive research has shown this to be a manufacturing defect, which can cause catastrophic failure.
I was driving on the southern state parkway in new york during rush hour. Driving approx 10MPH at a steady pace and had been in the car for about an hour. All of a sudden my 2017 evoque stalled out when I pressed the gas pedal. I came to a stop in the middle of the traffic lane, as there wasn't enough time to pull off the road. Once I shifted the shift knob into park, the knob disappeared into the center console as pictured.
