Model Year	2015
File date	01/05/15
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I have the limited edition, 2. 0l turbocharged. When the engine is cold, and if you tip-in aggressively, you can hear some screeching sound above 5000 rpm of the engine, easily achieved in second or third gear. The turbo is designed by mitsubishi and i knew someone who works there. After listening the sound, he indicated it is a case of turbocharger imbalance. I am not sure if it a design issue or mine is just a one off case. I have contacted hyundai last week, haven't gotten any response yet. I believe the turbo has to be replaced. If it not resolved, over a period of time due to excessive vibration, the journal bearing may fail and the turbo could blast. If anyone has the same issue, please take it seriously.
