2022 Encore GX
We bought a new 2022 Encore GX within a week it threw a code P0299 Dealer said a bearing in the turbo was leaking oil Turbo was replaced The Encore is still stinking up our garage now 1 month later with heavy burnt oil smell & a little smoke. We are taking it back up to the dealer again. We are thinking that we got a Lemon. Has anyone had this problem with a new car?
Thanks

No issue like that. How many miles do you have on it?
Could be also that the tech that worked on it didn't do a good job cleaning it.
 
We have only 1200 miles on it. We bought it new. I took it up to the dealer. They said turbo oil line was leaking on to the catalytic converter. They have ordered parts to fix that.
Thanks

Gotcha. I hope that fixes your issue. I know it's annoying when having issues like that.
