You need to find a mechanic quickly. The engine is overheating, severe damage is possible.

 

Maybe it's a "California thing" but I really don't understand the post above. Is it a question ? What kind of car ? What year ?

 

2009 Chevy hhr ss

 

Did you open the hood to see if there was coolant in the overflow tank? When was the coolant last changed?

 

Welcome, the Dexcool needs to be replaced every 5 years, when was it last changed ?
If you don’t know or have PO service records, have the cooling system drained and refilled.
