I've experienced something similar. Driving home from a local business I got the Yellow then RED engine overheating warnings. Shut off car and inspected for leaks, steam, or other overheating signs. Waited 10 minutes, then proceeded. Repeat of above. Close enough to home to get to driveway. Had car towed to dealer where they diagnosed water pump failure and $3,500 to repair. Had it towed to independent where repair was done for $1,600. New water pump and t'stat installed. Driven a few local trips since. Coolant tank level is about 3/4" below filler neck when cold. Is this normal?
It appears I might be losing coolant but still no signs. Tank does not have probe stick to measure level, only a yellow disk.
Any suggestions?
