I could smell coolant when my car was 6 months old. I was losing about 8 ounces a year. VW agreed to fix the water pump under warranty but I decided to wait. Five years later it hasn't gotten any worse.
Cons: smell of coolant
Yup, that's happens when they decided to put water pump INSIDE the engine. Ask me why i would never own a newer Ford. Oh, and a timing belt cooled by engine oil, what could possibly ever go wrong? Last 10 years Ford has managed to come up dumbest engine designs.
Cons: water pump inside engine, dumb design
Vehicle:
Ford
I had the same issue with the same Ford motor 3.7 in my Mazda Cx9, it is internal water pump
Cons: internal pump issue
Vehicle:
Mazda
I had one go bad on my Ford flex... The pump is inside the timing chain cover. Most places have to drop the engine, I got lucky and the place I went the guy was able to do it without removing the engine.
Cons: pump went bad, difficult to access
Vehicle:
Ford
The 3.5 engine is garage with this design. Had an Edge from new and out 150,000 miles on it in 13 years. I was always dreading this failure and luckily dodged it before selling it.
Cons: poor design, dreaded failure
Vehicle:
Ford
Awful design by Ford to put the water pump inside the engine. I almost bought one of these used a few years ago, but backed out after reading about 3-4k jobs to replace a water pump at 180-100k miles.
Cons: awful design, expensive replacement
Vehicle:
Ford
