2017 Fiat 500 2dr Hatch

turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD

5200 mi Coolant was leaking from the car, left puddles under the car. Dealer stated that the line at the bottle of the coolant bottle was faulty and the hose had to be replaced. No cost under warranty. However, on the trip home I smelt burning coolant, and when I pulled into my garage I noticed almost no coolant left in the bottle and a strong odor of burnt coolant coming from that area of the engine. Will have to see in the morning if coolant is under my car again. 
6300 mi Coolant leaking out of coolant reservoir again. Dealer pressure tested system and saw the line the replaced previously was faulty and leaking. New clamp put on and pressure tested system again and good to go. 
38500 mi Engine had knocking sound when accelerating in low gear and requesting a high load for the engine. Tech went on a test drive with me and stated he didn't think it was that bad yet but would write it up as a "lower bearing". Within two days I got called to come in and get the entire engine, turbo and harness replaced for free under warranty (right before it expired in December).
