About 4 days ago I noticed a coolant smell after parking. No drips until day 4 and by then I found two quarter size puddles of coolant on the floor, front driver's side. Called my dealer-they got me a free rental and not only fixed the cracked radiator and leaking hose, but performed my tire rotation and oil change for free! Walked out with a bill for $0. Thank you Columbia TN Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep! Great service.

 

Good to hear any idea what cracked radiator

Steve, they told me it was just a fluke as they haven't seen this happen. The pinhole in the radiator hose was most likely caused by the water leak in the radiator. Car has never overheated. Go figure, Bill

 

Sounds good.

 

My 13 RT is at the dealer right now with the same issue. The replacement radiator arrived Friday but upon inspection by the mechanic, it was also damaged. I hope to get it back tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for starting this thread.

 

Just had my 2013 DD R/T at the dealer for the same issue. Both lower corners of the radiator were leaking as well as the engine coolant temp sensor. Took it in this past Wednesday at 8:30 in the morning and had it back by 5:30 the same day. They replaced the radiator as well as the sensor and it cost me $42 bucks, which was the cost for the new antifreeze. Glad I got the extended warranty. I just hope this isn't a sign of more issues to come.

 

Wow, three of us in the club now. My date of manufacture was July 2013, be curious to know what yours were.

Had a somewhat similar issue with my 2013 rt... Drove up to Indiana to visit family (17 hours over 2 days). Smelled coolant when we got to the hotel. Looked under the hood and coolant splattered over front of engine. Took it to dealership there (fortunately they could squeeze us in) and supposedly was a leaky water pump. Replaced pump and thermostat (warranty)... Sadly, the dealership in IN didn't do anything more than fix, they didn't even inflate the tires a bit more as the TPMS was complaining about it being low (was at 32psi as it was much colder there than in FL)...

Hopefully I don't have a radiator leak as well... :P

 

I'm at the dealership now. They say something damaged the radiator. But didn't damage the grill, or any other structures. They are making me but a new radiator.
