Over heating sensor problem?

Chevrolet Cruze 2014  330001 miles
Driving down the road and all of a sudden on my display reads, air condition turned off due to high engine temp. My heat gauge reads almost hot. The display then reads normal, speedo on. The temp gauge goes back to normal. Like all of this in 30 seconds. This happened 3 times in a maybe 10 mile ride. What could it be. I know my car was not overheating. A sensor?

This happened to me a couple weeks ago. I was almost out of coolant which was causing the overheating, so I filled it up to get it to the shop. They said my water pump was shot and had to be replaced which is why the coolant was getting low so quickly. Everything is working well now since they put the new pump in. Hopefully that helps!

A/C auto disabled and fan constantly runs

The display says the AC is turned off because it’s too hot. However, it says this when I first start the vehicle. The fan also immediately starts running, and when I turn the engine off after driving, the fan stops, it doesn’t continue to run as if the engine is overheating. I have no signs of the engine overheating.
The temperature gauge constantly stays at C, it does not ever deviate away from it. I checked my radiator fluid and it was dry. I filled it up and it is at the same level and hasn’t moved since which was about 10 days ago.

I am having the same issue. So was the radiator fluid the problem?

I am in the process of getting it fixed. Im pretty sure my mechanic said it needed a piece that connected to the coolant and he was replacing the thermostat. He is charging me 80 bucks for that (he helps people at poverty level) but regardless where you go it should be a simple fix and should not cost a whole lot.
