I don't know what causes it, but it has happened to me a few times now, and I really hope it gets fixed. Turrets are strong enough already, they don't need Infiltrator cloaks to make them better.

I don't know if this is platform specific (I'm on Xbox 360), but there are times when a Combat Engineer's turret is completely invisible. It's still very much there, and very much capable of shooting at you, but you cannot see it. If you are looking at it, or in its general direction, it will show that it's there, but it can't be targeted by powers (unless you're directly lined up with it).

Have experienced this too, it might be related to Stasis or similar powers interrupting the setup-animation while the enemy engineer has not put it on the ground.
EDIT: PC, so not platform specific.

This bug is maddening, especially on silver and gold when awareness of turrets is pretty much make or break. On firebase white I've even had an invisible turret that had a bugged hitbox and was impossible to damage with weapons or powers from any angle. It was placed on the ledge to the right of the starting position and facing, near where the ammo dump is.
Needless to say it killed us all. =(

Had this happen to me for the whole match. Every single turret went stealth mode as soon as Engineers pop them on the ground.

Yep, has happened to me a couple times. One time an engineer put one inside a crate and it still shot at us.

Sounds a lot like War for Cybertron's Escalation glitches that created invisible enemies and Brutes with no backpacks...
Might be a memory thing? With WFC, it happens in high waves (I'm talking 60-70) where there are a TON of enemies coming at you. I think It's something to do the game can't completely keep up with the number of characters it needs to draw. This is a demo, after all, and resource allocation probably isn't the highest priority.

Had the same thing tonight. Only way I knew it was there was I was using a scope to zoom in and apparently if it's facing your there are 2 little red lights that look like eyes you can see.

Well, they also have that distinctive sound when shooting, in addition to the muzzle flash and tracers. Honestly even though the turret itself may be invisible it's really hard to miss when it's lighting someone up.

Experienced this twice. I'm surprised this is the only thread here about this problem. Hope developers will notice and fix that.

Yes, had a turret on the white map that was invisible in the lower area. Nothing obvious as to why it happened. We had no one with stasis so I don't think it's that.

5 times now on PS3.

Did you have an Asari on you team. I've seen that if an enemy gets stasis'd a couple of times but doesn't get kill they can sometimes become an unkillable corpse on the ground. The enemy is then invisible and moves around the battle field killing my team. Seems like the only thing that reverses this is to stasis the corpse. Maybe it's an engie corspe setting up invisible turrets.

Seen on it PC once.

I've seen this a couple times on PC. But for the invisibility and inability to lock powers on, they otherwise seem to act normally, giving and taking damage.

Smart engineer...attaching cloaks to a turret.

I have had this happen multiple times.

Annoying because Im generally the only one who notices them....

I know what you mean. I got completely destroyed by invisible turrets the other day. It was frustrating to say the least.

i hate this, it's happened to me before. you can still shoot the turrets, if you know where they are are. but yes, this is one of many glitches that need to be fixed before the actual game launches.
