It's starting to get really hot in Kansas City and I noticed a loss of power today when I accelerated. Looked down and my temp gauge started to rise. Checked the coolant immediately and it was low so I refilled it, but it doesn't seem to be circulating. Left O'Reilly and it had cooled down to normal, but climbed back up quickly.

I haven't noticed any leaks or anything and this is the first time I've had the issue. Also, the TPMS light came on as soon as it started to overheat. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Check to see if your electric fans all come on when it gets hot or hotter.

Look for leaks.

May need to take it in for a pressure test. Hope it's not a water pump.

$$$ in labor.

 

Car did that as part of limp mode. Check fan switches

 

So...what's the verdict?

when it was hot, were there electric fans running?

Does it only get hot w/the AC on or all the time no matter what?

You MAY have an air-bubble in the system.. Burp it if the electric fans are ok.
