I did, it was clearly a coolant leak from a cracked coolant overflow tank.
Took it to the dealer under the Chrysler maximum care service contract.
6,000 dollars later they tell me the care is ready to be picked up.
Service sheet states no coolant leak found.

12 miles down the road the check coolant light comes on.
Dealer is closed so I limp home get the car in the drive way fluids are pouring out. Next day the X goes back to the dealer on a flat bed.

Lo and behold cracked expansion tank sheesh go figure.

Now the car is back for what I am sure is a bad ignition switch, but they want to yank my dash apart because they are sure the BMW Aux cable that has been on the car for 3 years is the culprit (REALLY!!!)
