The system has not been officially diagnosed due to technician availability but is available for inspection. 2. **Safety Risks**: The frequent need to refill coolant raises concerns about engine overheating, posing a potential safety hazard during operation. 3. **Problem Confirmation**: The issue has been consistently observed by the owner, requiring coolant to be refilled three times in 49 days. However, a formal diagnosis by a dealer or service center has been hindered by a lack of available technicians. 4. **Inspections by Parties**: The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or other third parties concerning this coolant issue. 5. **Warning Signs & Symptoms**: No warning lamps or messages have indicated a problem prior to noticing the coolant depletion.
