Consumer Description

I NOTICED A SMALL POOL OF COOLANT UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I BELIEVE THE CAR IS SUFFERING FROM A COMMON PROBLEM OF THE COOLING FIXTURES THAT ARE GLUED ONTO THE MOTOR RATHER THAN WELDED. AMAZING THAT A CAR THIS EXPENSIVE WOULD HAVE SUCH A POORLY THOUGHT OUT PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I WILL TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR ESTIMATES BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT AN ENGINE REMOVAL IS REQUIRED AND ALL COOLANT FIXTURES NEED TO BE WELDED. THIS IS A RATHER EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A VERY FLAWED DESIGN. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ONLY A FEW TIMES SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT AND NOTICE A POOL OF COOLANT EVERY TIME THE CAR IS PARKED. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL FIXED AS I UNDERSTAND THE COOLANT LEAK CAN BE A HAZARD TO BE ME WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS THE CARS BEHIND ME IF I SUFFER A CATASTROPHIC COOLANT LOSS. *TR
