I have a 2020 Sorento that has ~9,000 miles on it. I was driving on the highway when the engine overheat chime started going off and the temperature gauge went hot. I pulled over and called for help, then tried to go a smidge further up the road. Within 200 yards it chimed again and the temp went hot. Put an entire jug of coolant in and my rescue driver informed me that there was a trail of coolant pouring out behind me. There is no visible damage to the underside of the vehicle or from looking at the engine with the hood up. We were told that due to the weather (middle tn) Kia roadside doesn't have any tow truck drivers available, and neither did my insurance company. A local towing company is retrieving my vehicle tomorrow and taking it to the Kia dealership that I purchased from.
