Have you checked that your radiator fans are working? If the car overheats (or even if it runs a bit hot) it could cause some coolant to be thrown out via the overflow cap. Keep in mind that the dashboard gauge is notoriously inaccurate on these cars. Do you hear the fans come on, and do both come on? You cleaned the radiators - did you do it by removing the front bumper cover and cleaning out between the radiators and the A/C evaporators? Just vacuuming through the front intakes usually won't get it all out.
Both my radiator fans are working. I removed the bumper cover and separated the rads and condensors. There was a bit of debris in there but surprisingly little. I have ordered an Airlift - once it comes in I will give it a try and report back. I must have a bit of air in the system.
