Overheating message displaying. For safety the car has a low power mode and it activates. Let’s vehicle sit for 20 mins. Adding coolant lifted the hood container appeared to be empty. Purchasing the ORANGE! coolant auto zone suggested. Added and started vehicle LOAD noises and car overheated again after 1 min. Paid my extended warranty silverrock for diagnostic so many times because this car have been nothing but issues but this overheating issue and belt situation is on going. The gauge isn’t holding pressure. Takes to shop everytime and maintains maintenance. I can provided all documents from the shop visits. My car is safe according to everyone else but I don’t feel safe I’m paying for a car that barely works. It’s always in the shop. Not fair.
