Why does the radiator light always come on in a 2001 Ford Escape if the car is not running hot and the fluids are at level?

It may have a bad temperature sensor.
My 01 Escape radiator light comes on intermittently and I can't nail down the precise conditions. 3 different Ford garages have told me the sensor in the coolant reservoir is bad. Bad news is that to replace the sensor you have to replace the whole reservoir; good news is that it only costs ~$75 at Autozone. Since I know that this is the problem I just keep an eye on the fluid level until I get a chance to replace it.

Would lack of coolant or antifreeze make a car rumble?
It could if you are running it in very cold or very hot weather. In the winter, the engine has to warm the fluids and since the fluids are cold and thick, it takes more engine force to move them. In the summer, they are too thin so the engine isn't fighting the viscosity of the fluids. It's always best to make sure antifreeze/coolant is full. Always check them when the engine is hot. NEVER check Radiator HOT!
