Why is this database being eliminated, first of all?! I love this. Check coolant light came on, coolant had all leaked while driving, due to frost plug heater seal failure on engine causing all coolant to leak out. Not covered under warranty?! seems that this is an engine seal to me, Ford disagrees.
