Description of the problem	My wife notice the coolant reservoir level had falling well below the full mark. She notified me that she needed coolant added. So we both inspected the car and could not find any leaks so elected to fill the reservoir and notified the dealer. The dealer found that the water pump seal was bad and that the coolant would drip onto the underlying pan and evaporate not leaving a trace of a leak. This was part of a recall so the repair was made. April 2014, mileage 88000. Another coolant leak, outlet manifold and hose failure. Not covered under warranties due to it being a hose. So i was charged $243. 80 for what turned out to be a outlet manifold, attached to the engine (failure). Because a hose was attached to it they claimed it was not covered! My invoice reads $180. 00 labor, 20. 60 coolant, outlet 30. 08 and hose 13. 12. 11/18/2014, another coolant leak. I have an appointment on 11/20/2014 with the dealer and i'm going to ask for a refund due to in my opinion excessive coolant problems. I believe this could effect the engine cooling performance and damage the engine if not already. I have paid for the full warranty package when the car was purchased plus extended warranty package. The dealer is the only service dept. To ever touch this car.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
