After reading all of the posts, we rushed when the low coolant light came on a second time in 2 days. Lucky for us, it was only low coolant and we power flushed the system and replaced the dreaded dexcool anyway. (serviceman confirmed corrosive nature of dexcool)checked everything in sight and so far no residual damage. Also had the a/c switch flipping on and off and had that module replaced in July. otherwise we consider ourselves lucky since we have old peoples driving habits of short trips and many stops. Hope this saves someone else a lot of headaches, I'm glad I read all about it. And thankfully car has been super in spite of our driving.
