Brand new 1SS-50 mi-already on a flatbed back to dealer

Maybe I set a record. This is the 2nd time I've driven the car since driving it home initially 17 miles.

Drove up the coast today in mid 50s temps. Noticed the fan seemed to constantly be on after about 10 minutes or so. Then low gears started to feel like they grinded a bit at low rpm. Then all of a sudden I saw this:



Immediately parked the car and shut it off. Popped the hood. Zero coolant. Bought some at the 7-11 across the street. Put some in and watched it leak out the bottom of the car almost instantly.

Well I got to use my free trial of OnSTAR! Towed to the dealer. Left keys and description in night drop. I'm not certain they're even open tomorrow. I'll call and find out.
Only thing that was done to my car prior to pick up was the hood was re-aligned. Then I drove it home and then parked in underground gated garage Haven't found a TSB yet on this. Didn't notice any coolant on the floor in the parking garage when I left but didn't look. I will take a look later.

I hope this isn't my future with this car and it's a freak thing. I also hope I didn't damage the engine. But I did shut kill it once I saw the warning.
