Default Indication that your instrument cluster is about to take a dump....
this is the exact problem mine had, when my first cluster went bad.

Don't worry, the symptom will return.

Default Oh nooo!! On cold mornings <35%, mine has been giving me the low coolant warning, then goes away.
Coolant level is fine though...know where I can get a cheap cluster? :-/

Damn, my tach has been sticking lately. Out of warranty soon; I'd better have that replaced (again!)

When are you going in for yours? I still need to have mine fixed as well. Safety in numbers?

Default sure, you can drive it, but i'd sure make a call to my favorite Service Tech. and tell them...
to order you a cluster, 'cause you are comin' in with a bad one.

Default Mine was doing the same thing...
Turns out is was the sensor in the coolant reservoir. It was a PIA to troubleshoot since it didn't seem to happen every day. Well actually it did...except when it was at the dealer.
