It's the water pump! Just went through the same thing with my 2013. You wont ever see the coolant but you can smell it and the tank level will slowly go down. There is a new pump out now, mine is in the shop rite now having it put on.
Is your covered under warranty for it?
Yes, its covered.
That's good to know, what did they change about the water pump? Any idea?
This! Do you notice a coolant puddle in the garage? This happened to mine and I only caught it because I would notice a small puddle of coolant under the car after I let it sit over night.
I didn't see a puddle or anything. I put UV dye in mine and when I saw it was half an inch lower than it was 3.5k miles ago I took a flashlight and started looking. Ended up finding a coolant drool just under the impeller/pulley. Brought it in and they showed me the old one, nothing that you can see with the eye or feel with your hands, but it definitely leaked.
Some people might have had the recall done and will see some coolant on the ground. I did not have the recall done and the coolant did not get far before I had it replaced.tecollins1 said:
Funny people are all mentioning this pressure testing. The first dealer I called said they'd need to do a pressure test as well and my personal opinion after talking on the phone was pretty low. I called another dealership and told them the issue and they said bring it in and we'll take care of it right away. They didn't once question me. All I can say, if you have the option, find another dealer that is more willing to take your concern to heart. I'm all for avoiding unnecessary work (by doing a pressure test first), but nobody knows your car better than you, and a dealer should listen if they want your business.
