Brand new 1SS-50 mi-already on a flatbed back to dealer
Maybe I set a record. This is the 2nd time I've driven the car since driving it home initially 17 miles.
Drove up the coast today in mid 50s temps. Noticed the fan seemed to constantly be on after about 10 minutes or so. Then low gears started to feel like they grinded a bit at low rpm. Then all of a sudden I saw this: Immediately parked the car and shut it off. Popped the hood. Zero coolant. Bought some at the 7-11 across the street. Put some in and watched it leak out the bottom of the car almost instantly. Well I got to use my free trial of OnSTAR! Towed to the dealer. Left keys and description in night drop. I'm not certain they're even open tomorrow. I'll call and find out. Only thing that was done to my car prior to pick up was the hood was re-aligned. Then I drove it home and then parked in underground gated garage Haven't found a TSB yet on this. Didn't notice any coolant on the floor in the parking garage when I left but didn't look. I will take a look later. I hope this isn't my future with this car and it's a freak thing. I also hope I didn't damage the engine. But I did shut kill it once I saw the warning. |

Dammit man I'm sorry, that totally stinks. I'm thinking whoever pdi'd your car either didn't do it thoroughly or maybe a hise came loose. Either way these cars are pretty stout and you'll be back on the road in no time.

That sucks, i purchased a 16 grand cherokee at about 8pm at night back in maywe left dealer, 30 minutes later we threw about 5 codes and the engine was making a lot of noise, i demanded thr dealer give me head of line with mechanic the next morning which they did and have had no problems since with the car. Just saying don't let this small thing ruin yiur experience.

If it makes you feel any better, I recently picked up a new 2017 Mercedes E300, and the check engine light came on when it had 12 miles on it. That, along with some sort of odd tapping noise from the right rear corner of the car, had it out of service for a week - the first week I owned it. Mine left on a flatbed as well - so - crossing my fingers that your situation works out.

What rotten luck! Please keep us updated. What's with your low oil pressure in that pic? I have never seen my oil pressure that low.....
Not to bring up another potential problem but since I noticed it I did want to say something.

if i were you i would ask for a new car; your car overheated once and its enough to cause a damage in the engine, you won't see probably any evidence of this until a couple of years from now; ask for a new car or get an extended warranty without additional cost but still keep in mind probably the engine is already damaged.

Well I don't think you will get a new car even if you were to ask! Your Camaro will be okay. After you get it back if I were you I would keep a check on the antifreeze and oil levels for a while. It was wise for you to shut it off when the DIC lit up and wait for the tow truck. Good luck!

If you want reliable transportation get a flat bed truck?

Just me or does the oil pressure look low too? Good luck on getting it fixed! Hopefully it was something simple.
