| Description of the problem | 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. |
