NHTSA Complaint #11577801 — 2014 KIA SORENTO

While driving on the highway, I noticed my temperature gauge went all the way to hot, but then it went back to the middle. It did this 2 or 3 times before I reached my destination. On the way home, it did this, again. Except, the gauge went up to hot and stayed there when I was about 3 miles from home. Once the engine cooked, I checked for coolant and realized it was empty - as was my oil (even though I had an oil change in October). I refilled the oil and coolant only to have the coolant run out from the bottom of the engine. I took the car to a radiator repair shop and was told the from head gasket had blown. He said I would need a new engine. A second opinion yielded the same answer. The engine light never came on and the car never overheated. The car has approximately 116,000 miles.
