Driving a 2011 LR4, approx 108k miles. 2 weeks ago had my oil changed & fluids checked- all fine.
Last week, took car into LR dealer for front brake replacement & check on air bag recall. Usu go to my favorite local LR mechanic, but had to check a recall and they were booked out 3 weeks. At dealership was told rear brakes also need replacing despite having been done there less than 11k miles earlier (Aug 2017). Also told hydra bushings needed to be replaced.... so, got them done. Their standard multi point inspection was performed as well w no additional major issues of note.
I left for vacation directly from picking up car at dealership. Within 30 mins. the coolant low warning light came on (first time ever). I found this extremely odd given the fluids check 2 weeks prior & 4 days at the dealership. Pulled over to autozone & added recommended coolant, & warning light extinguished.
Arrived at vaca destination and didn’t drive car rest of the week out of an abundance of caution. Finally returned home via vehicle tonight & found a puddle of coolant in front passenger footwell (it's pastel in color and sweet smelling- def not water) & coolant low warning came back on. The warning light has continued to flash on and off erratically for the last 24 hours. Truck has had no previous problems and never been in an accident.
Any clues as to what this could be? Could something have happened while at dealership while other issues being addressed that accidentally damaged this? I don’t want to be accusatory with the dealership (esp b/c already a bit suspicious of a replacement brake job in under 11k miles & an additional charge on the bill they admitted was not owed...) but the timing sure seems suspicious.
Appreciate any thoughts/feedback!
