 Description of the problemEngine coolant stench and loss of coolant since day one! I now have just over 45,600 miles and per the dealer a need a temp sensor housing and thermostat. While driving i got a message on the dash reading "ac off due to high engine temp" and the coolant temp read - - - and the needle on the temp gauge dropped to low from a prior midway point and coolant temp of 218 degrees. Back in 2014 i suddenly had black smoke coming from tailpipe and the "dealer replaced the water pump assembly with new base and thermostat." i also had a "service stabilitrac" notice and sudden loss of power while driving back in 2015 and the dealer said they couldn't duplicate the issue but that i needed a new coil pack which i had to pay for and repair on my own even though car was still under warranty!! This vehicle has smelled like antifreeze since the day i bought it, brand new, from the dealer that was performing all the services. In addition, the back window leaked from day one and i had 2" of standing water in my trunk and i had to pay, out of my own pocket!!, to replace the rear window = twice!!! This car is a piece of junk and has been nothing but problems and the dealer has forced me to do repairs that should have been covered by the warranty. I am sick and tired of the stench of antifreeze and the fact that i now have to repair the thermostat housing and thermostat due to engine overheating!!!
