    I don't think I said the coolant was going anywhere. The light came on but went off after a few seconds and only does it when I first start the car. Not when all the lights turn on normally. I check the fluid and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere and the level is pretty consistant. I've only added coolant one time and that was roughly about 3-4 weeks ago

    You can't go by that idiot light, the coolant level sensor is a known issue on these cars. They either don't work or work intermittently,pulling it and cleaning it or installing a new one is your best bet or just unplug it like others have.
