Damn that sucks. I thought 2012+ models had that issue fixed.

Really need to find out why this failed before jumping to a conclusion. If it is the rear timing gasket... then this is really bad news.

Judging by several other forum threads, these codes scream rear timing gasket.

Keep us updated. Are you the original owner? Any chance in hell the engine has ever been replaced?

Car is second hand. Got it coming off lease with 34k. I can't imagine a scenario where a car that young on a lease would have had an engine replaced with a used one.

Sorry to hear of this, this is something we really need some confirmation on as that would add many more thousands of vehicles that could be affected. There are several scenarios that could cause those codes though, so lets just stay tuned. Please keep us posted and again, bummin' for you

Looking at some values on torque. Camshaft advance on bank 2 is way off spec and doesn't move.

The SES light came on just as I was leaving the house this morning. The car is back in limp mode. Only 17 more miles to the dealership. Fun times.
