Earlier in the week I reported the engine stalling issue. I wish to report the coolant leak issue as well. I've had the water pump replaced but coolant is still leaking and has to be topped off regularly. This is on the 1.6L engine. It sounds like many other owners are experiencing the coolant and engine stalling issues; looking forward to recalls being issued for both problems.

I filed a complaint sometime last week about my car having coolant leaks and overheating due to this leak. Well I took my car to the shop and was out 400 dollars to fix this. The shop ended up having to order two of the same parts because they were all faulty. A week later my car is fixed. Worked for 2 days and the part that came directly from Ford was faulty again. Car almost blew up on the highways because coolant was leaking everywhere. There was literally none in my car. When is this going to become important enough to fix" when the engine is completely ruined" I was driving down the highway today and all the lights on my dash came on saying engine temp dangerously high. Turn engine off immediately but by this point I was already smoking out the hood, it smelled like coolant inside my car, I pull over and get out and I see my tired are soaked, the whole sidewalk up under me was puddled, my engine was covered in coolant. I had to have it towed.
