This is absolutely unacceptable for a new vehicle. 3x the warning light came on and the service techs dismissed it because they see atlas' daily with low coolant issues. You could smell the coolant just by walking by and it wasn't until I refused to take it home that they scoped it and found coolant internally leaking into the cylinder heads. The solution was to tear apart a brand new motor and replace the head gasket along with all seals and bolts.
