oops forgot to include my name- here's the message again.
I just checked my repair records for accuracy. So, in August of 2004 I had the upper radiator hose replaced because it was bulging, and had the temp sensor checked and it was working fine. Then, this week I had the upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hose set, and temp sensor replaced and the radiator and a/c condensor backwashed. I had no problems with low coolant level until I had the first hose replaced. Around September of 2004, after the first hose replacement, it dropped low. They checked it out, topped it off and said it should be fine. It was ok until I drove it across the country from Michigan moving to California. The low coolant message came on about a month after I got here. I filled it up and then another month later it was low again, and then 2 weeks later low again. The hoses were replaced on Monday of this week and by Wednesday the coolant was low again after it was topped off (time between getting shorter.) They warned me to look for a rough idle, and I'd say about 1 in 10 times that I start the car it idles roughly. I'm not sure if the repair guy was trying to snow me, but he told me there was nothing preventative that I could do. He said I'd have to wait till the head gasket failed and then have it repaired. I am so frustrated and am looking at new cars. I really don't want to have a car payment, but this seems like a major expensive issue.
