Second time my coolant warning light has come on. 16k miles. 1st time was under 2k miles. They blew off the 1st time at the dealership. Going tomorrow to have it checked again. Read several others with 2018 Atlas having same issue.

This is probably the number 1 "real" issue folks have with the Atlas. Tons of info. One time is somewhat normal, if you are losing it at a high rate it's going somewhere and it is likely the head gasket.

I had the coolant light come on and checked the level, it seemed to be down so I added just enough water to satisfy sensor, the next day it was back up to maximum level, what gives with that???
