Description of the problem	I was driving home and out of nowhere my 2012 chevy cruze dings and says "engine overheating a/c turned off," i was very surprised but kept driving and literally one minute later the car dings again. There is a different message that says "idle engine overheating," at this point i am very worried and i pull over and call the chevy dealership that i bought the car from and explain what has occurred. I was advised to bring the car into the service department. So, i start the car up and begin the drive over to the dealership that is about 15 minutes away because of traffic. Not three minutes into the drive i get the same message "idle engine overheating," i'm very nervous but keep going and about two minutes later i get a new message "shut engine off engine overheating." i call the dealership and they tell me that i am close enough that i should just continue and drive to the dealership. I get about 200 yards from the entrance of the dealership and my engine starts smoking. I have had this car for less than seven months and i basically only use it to drive to work and school. I take very good care of my vehicles, i get the oil changed every 4,000-5,000 miles, in fact i got an oil change less than a week ago.
