My 2008 model Camry, just done 18750 miles had a difficult problem occurred yesterday. For the last 7 months it did so well, as per my expectation and value. Yesterday morning after 40 miles, I saw suddenly an engine check symbol, and while thinking what could be the reason , I saw my heat indicator needle dropped to zero. Immediately i pulled aside and stopped my car. Suddenly my wife saw smoke coming from hood. I rushed out and opened hood.No more smoke. But I found my coolant bottle is empty. Opened radiator cover after some time . Put water. Steam oozed out, I continued pouring water till it subsidized. Filled water in coolant bottle reservoir. After an hour started and no warnings existed. I took the vehicle to nearby dealer. Told everything. They checked and replaced engine oil as it was almost due for next change. Retuned home from office and today morning also came back to office. Heat level and coolant level same as normal. But I feel slight sluggishness ( less pulling) . What to Do? Only 7 months and bought new for relaibility. Please reply
