Noticed the coolant light kept coming on and off. Added some even tho it said not before 5 years or 150,000 miles. Car did not heat up on long trip from nm to ca. Dealer said maybe it was the computer chip. After checking it was told the bottom hose on radiator had a leak cause by loose motor mount and dogbone. They fixed it for $187 and wanted another $700 to fix motor mount and db. I had checked by another mechanic and was told nothing wrong with mm or db. I feel I was taken. I noticed no leak in over 3 weeks before dealer had the car. I feel their pressure test burst the hose.
