Angry coolant loss

We have a 2014 hardtop. I have added coolant 3 times since we purchased it in May. About a quart each time, no leaks on garage floor. The dealer can't find a problem. Typical mini usage?

Hello. 2014 should be under warranty and the dealer should hopefully do all the necessary things needed to fix the issue. If there are no leaks, it could be an internal issue (you'd see signs of this via the exhaust) or head gasket. What has the dealer said they will do to fix the issue?

So far just the usual dealer run around after their look see, third complaint, oh we can't find anything. That's OK, wifey works for attorneys, one more look see, then the ole lemon law approach. I guess buyer beware.

This isn't the first thread I've seen with issues with the newer MINI's and the lemon law coming into the picture. Keep me updated and let me know what happens. Hopefully they fix the issue.
