that is waayyy!!!! too high, it need room for expansion, there is a line on the coolant resovior bottle, make sure the coolant isnt over this line or likely it will explode, if that doesnt fix it take it to ford asap monday

Your dealer would know me by first name if that happened to me.
That is what a warranty is for. You need them to make a record everytime it happens and if they don't fix it use that on the lemon law and get a new car.
