✅ Yes — spark plug issues are widespread.

Users report:

Jerking at low RPMs

Poor idling

Misfiring under slow acceleration

OEM plugs may wear out early ~20,000–30,000 km due to:

Heat

Dust

Traffic congestion

💡 Upgrade suggestion: Use iridium o r platinum-tipped spark plugs for better durability and ignition efficiency.
