Tadge thank you ahead of time for your answers . My wife and I drove our 2014 Corvette non Z51 and automatic 11800 miles to South Carolina from Cincinnati Ohio we had been driving around 5 hours and got to I40 and traffic dead stopped semi overturned all lanes shut down so we were idling and barley moving and temperature started going up then screen says engine overheating turn off ac and idle so I did then I pulled over and shut it off opened hood noticed it lost some antifreeze so I waited for it to cool down ended up putting in about a half gallon of antifreeze, got back on I40 temp stayed about 218 to 220. it was about 90 degrees outside no problem the rest of the way. Believe it or not we were coming home 6 days later on I75 north and another accident shut it down for 3 hours, we had been driving 8 hours and came to a halt at idle and creeping I noticed it getting hot around 240 to 250 slowly going up so I shut it off and when we started moving again it was ok went to 220 and stayed there all the way home about 3hours. Should I take it to a dealer ? I need to have my top looked at squeaking and popping. Thanks for reading.

Take it to a dealer. Moved from "Ask Tadge" to "C7 General".

The difference I noticed now is the fan runs a lot more then it ever did and both the digital and analog gauges are only a few degrees different and before they were 20 degrees apart. Now when I'm in traffic I can hear the fan running at high speed and the gauge will drop from 220 to 210 and when its really hot the fan will run a few after I shut the car off which it never did before
