Coolant leaking from bottle reservoir; onto engine causing smoke.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford Focus. While operating the vehicle, smoke appeared under the hood. While inspecting the vehicle, it was discovered that coolant had leaked onto the engine from the coolant reserve bottle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (duphy Ford located in philadelphia, PA), but no failure was found. The contact indicated that the failure continued to occur. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 41,000.
Vehicle has had a red fluid leak for quite some time. The car has been back to the dealership for this issue many times and currently filing lemon law arbitration. The car has been out of commission for 55 days altogether since it's purchase in January this year due to the fluid leak which seems to be more of coolant than anything else. It is burning oil and or losing it somewhere that isn't visible. It also has had electrical problems with starting as well as the radio clock and presets all resetting after sitting for more than 24 hours. I have had to have the sunroof resales after it had leaked for over two months and the dealership wasn't able to find the leak. The front end makes horrible noises when decelerating. It grinds and whines as if something is about to blow up. I've taken it into the dealer for all of these concerns and only one of them has been resolved fully. I'm very disappointed in my purchase.
