For about a month now my coolant has been dropping in the reservoir about every 2 weeks. i had the oil changed today and asked the dealership to check and see what the problem is. they informed me it was leaking around the thermostat housing. this is in direct relation to the recalls but of course they say mine is not part of the recall. i wonder what ford will think if it catches fire and i'm injured and my children sue them! please help i'm on disability and can't afford the $450 the dealer wants to fix it.

This ford fusion has been progressively dying as it comes to a stop or when just driving . it has been starting back up immediately but lately seems to not to start as quickly. also strange noise like blowing or puffing sound from under hood. this is on city streets and when slowing down for ramp stops. called dealership and until codes show up they can't tell us nothing.
