I started having the low coolant message come on. I checked the coolant before I took it in and it was not low. Temperature was always where it ran about 190 to 200 degrees. Did not come on all the time. Took to a dealer and they said the water pump was leaking a little. Had it replaced. About a week later the coolant light came on. It does not appear to be low and the light after you turn it off and re crank might not come on again for a couple of days. Do I have a bad sensor? If so where is it and how hard to replace.

If you brought it to the dealer with that concern and your still having the same concern. They might repair it for you. This vehicle is a split year. Meaning they changed body style. If its the old body style the level sensor is on radiator just below the upper radiator hose. If its the new body style it is located on the bottom of the radiator surge tank. Both styles are not very hard to replace.
