Default Brand new Focus ST cooling system issues

Hi all,

I've recently purchased a brand new Focus ST, after many months of test driving everything out there!

I've only had it a couple of weeks and have had the following problems. Day one of taking delivery, I drove it home and it dropped all of its coolant (everything that was in the overflow tank/reservoir on the driveway).

It was towed back to the dealership, they said it was a faulty hose of some kind and it was replaced.

Fast forward a week later. Drove it home two nights ago and the same thing happened. Towed back again yesterday. They said they pressure tested for two hours and no problems. So they have replaced the radiator cap :o

Has anyone else seen problems like this on a brand new Focus?

Cheers,
Zolt
