1 Water Pump problem of the 2012 Ford Focus

Failure Date: 12/22/2020

My 2012 Ford Focus continuously overheats. I've seen that the coolant reservoir regularly needs to be refilled. (now up to 4 times a week). I've had the car looked at numerous times and no one can figure out what is going on. I've replaced the water pump,thermostat,and there seems to ne no leaks anywhere. I'm at my wits end. This is a vehicle that me and my family use regularly when possible. It. This past week,(12/22/2020), the car overheated and steam spewed from under the hood while we were all in the vehicle. This happened while driving home on 125th st in nyc. While we stopped to get pizza,I noticed steam billowing from under the hood. Check it out and saw antifreeze spewing out from the firewall and leaking onto the ground.

2 Water Pump problem of the 2013 Ford Focus

Failure Date: 09/11/2020

While driving only 20 minutes on highway the engine light came on. Pulled over immediately and turned off the car. The car was towed to the nearest shop. They said they need to replace the failed water pump and thermostat. The next day they said that didnt fix the problem and that it needed a head gasket replaced. After opening the engine they said that its warped. The car (se model) has only 84000 miles and was a certified preowned car we bought Feb 2016. I will be contacting Ford manufacturer on a possible recall #19522 as well as the dealership as this should be covered under the 7 year 100000 warranty.
