Did the water pump replacement fix the OP’s problem?
I have a new to me (only 2 months) 2019 limited 73k miles. I couldn’t regret this purchase any more. We traded our 2016 highlander bc we needed the room for 2 small kids and a dog that thinks he needs to go everywhere. Initially we loved the vehicle. Love the size , love the look, love the way it drives.
The love stopped the very first “cold start” that it sounded like we were starting an old tractor. after a month or so finally got the cam phasers replaced luckily under a free warranty the dealership offered. Thinking we were good to go when I got it back opened the hood just to look around and noticed the coolant was low AGAIN after the cam phasers were replaced. I’ve already added twice in a month just thinking it was low. So now I’ve added 3 times everytime to max and then it goes well below the min line in a matter of days / a week. I added dye and we drove it the next day. There is dye in the oil and what appears to be on the left side of the engine on some pipes(hard to describe bc I don’t know what I’m talking about). I know after some research this vehicle had some AC work done so I’m not sure if that dye on left side was from that before me or not. But the coolant in the engine worries the crap out of me. I also have noticed how the fan will run excessively like someone else mentioned. Car never reads hot on the dash either.
I plan on calling ford again tomorrow. This has been such a nightmare of a 2 months and I’m hoping we can get it fixed and at this point do I just punt and cut my losses and get something else?? This is very depressing to say the least to have to deal with this.
