Description of the problem	On 11/20/2018 my low coolant light came on. I took it to a local dealership in town & they topped off the coolant. The tech advised me to take it to my registered dealership for inspection. On 11/21/2018 i took it to my dealership & stated the issue and noted the warning light. They inspected the vehicle, found the fluid was low (again only 24 hours after being topped off). Ran a pressure test & inspected for leaks. The tech said the fluid was low & they don't know why/where. They said this is normal. This is not normal on a 1 year old vehicle with < 10k miles purchased brand new. This is a pressurized system so either it's a bad head gasket & the system will burst, it's leaking & they didn't look very hard, or it's leaking into my engine cylinders & mixing with oil which will seize the vehicle. This complaint comes in addition to another complaint i filed with nhtsa where my vehicle died while in motion on 02/10/2019. This atlas is not safe to drive & has obvious manufacture defects/poor engineering.
