NHTSA Complaint #11540168 — 2018 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA

While driving on the interstate, the car triggered a check engine light, reported that start/stop was unavailable, and ETC throttle needed servicing. Error codes report a turbocharger underboost. This is a known issue experienced by Alfa Romeo Giulia owners involving the turbo wastegate actuator. The actuator arm gets worn at the linkage to the wastegate, introducing play and reducing turbo pressure. There was no prior warning that this would happen, dealer did not confirm this issue until the second time the car was serviced for this issue, and the only stated solution is to pay for and replace the entire turbocharger.
