I have a 2002 chevy impala automatic transmission with a little over 57,00 miles and I have had my low coolant light come on for a few seconds twice when I started the car. I have checked both the radiator and the overflow and both are full. I have also noticed that my temperature gage (which usually runs 210) has only lately been heating to 180. Help! I want an idea before I go to the dealership and then telling me it is more.

BEFORE FIRST START OF THE DAY OPEN HOOD AND CHECK THE RADIATOR
TOP OFF IF NEEDED

If the coolant level is full and there are no leaks,replace the coolant level sensor in the radiator.
