Mine was 08/08/09 Sedan .... Seems to be a trend here. early models are failing now.
Mine was built about the same time as yours. Within a few days.

I have had to top off the coolant by adding 4-6 oz one time in 4 years.

Still looks low to me.

That's a bad sign I would think.

its like 17*F outside. I think its normal where it is. I did get a new radiator within the year so maybe they didnt add enough to begin with.
