Engine overheating. Week 1

[Bdobson]

Week 1 of owning the vehicle and I received warning lights on the dash that the engine temperature was high. I pulled over to let the engine cool down I then resumed driving another 2 miles. Same thing.

I was driving down the highway (55 mph)when this happened. The truck was then towed to my dealer.

The vehicle is a ‘24. It was a loaner car that had 3k miles on it and delivery of the vehicle was last week. It is a base wagon with a number of extras on it. No lockers or aux battery.

As the dealer now has it, this is probably redundant:

Start with the basics; have you checked the coolant level in both circuits? It is part of the PDI, but still is not universally checked.

Do you think it was actually overheating or a warning light issue.
There's been a lot of issues with warning lights coming on when there's nothing actually wrong with the vehicle.

Doesn't sound like a faulty sensor given it came "back on" after 2 miles. I would have dealer check for air in the system and/or under-fill of coolant.
