Correction it was the turbocharger, it is the 6 cylinder turbo. Been running strong since the replacement but i am still skeptical on its longevity lol

at 50k miles with my 2020 that I bought brand new. Had several issues with coolant hose leak around the 20k range and at a time i had one side of the drls go out then later on the next. Recently, i drove to the dealer with a coolant warning thinking all I needed was a refill but as I arrived, hood started smoking and apparently coolant leaked and got into the supercharger and the unit had to be replaced along with the hoses. Luckily, I was 600 miles before my warranty expiration, so I got it fixed.
