Known problems
What 2019 Continental GT owners run into
Problems reported for this model year, with the mileage they tend to show up at. Buying past a window is not automatically a pass - it just needs to be priced in.
48V Active Anti-Roll System Fault
medium severity40,000-80,000 mi · $2,000-$5,000 to fix
A malfunction in the Bentley Dynamic Ride 48-volt system triggers a severe body-control fault on the dashboard. This is frequently misdiagnosed by independent mechanics as an air suspension failure, resulting in the highly expensive and unnecessary replacement of air struts instead of the dedicated electric anti-roll actuators.

Active Engine Mount Deterioration
medium severity50,000-90,000 mi · $1,500-$3,500 to fix
The electronically controlled hydraulic active engine mounts (Part 3SA199384A) leak or fail internally. This causes excessive, unrefined engine vibration to transfer directly into the cabin chassis, completely destroying the refined grand touring isolation expected of the marque.

Electronic Parking Brake Malfunction
low severity30,000-60,000 mi · $1,000-$2,500 to fix
The electric parking brake, which is integrated directly into the rear calipers on the MSB platform, can seize or fail to disengage due to software glitches, mechanical binding, or moisture intrusion into the motor housing.
