Like Jim Spivey, my 05 Allure 31266 rubbed a hole in a coolant hose where it was overly strapped down to the alternator without protection. Fortunately caught at early leak stage. It is an obvious potential failure waiting to occur.

Gentlemen:

In 2008 I traveled to Canada with 3 owners of new Allures.
One lost a siginificant amount of liquid, one was cut almost to the point of leaking and the third was just getting started.
The way they fastened the hose to the airconditioning compressor (alternator){I forget which} was not too bright. Engine movement was to be absorbed within too short a distance to the expansion reserve tank. Anyone with this configuration should check it out and correct the support of the hose.
