i guess nobody really gave a sh$%! fyi it was the coolant reservoir, $525.00 parts and labor.

Had my resevior replaced last week. Same thing. My local mechanic at my dealer showed me two others that he did that week. seal cracks especially around coolant level sensor. My tank cost: $479.00

Chage the water pipe, it often gives this problem and let the anti freeze drain...

This was quite bad which happens to you. Unfortunately you have to do what you have stated in your thread you have to tow your vehicle down to the dealer.
