Reported at 107,000 miles, February 2017 Fire

I purchased a new 2007 jeep liberty on march 19, 2007 it had under 20 miles on it. After leaving the dealership the jeep overheated about 15 miles later. I pulled over, popped the hood, and saw that the coolant overflow tank was bone dry. It took about 1 gallon of coolant to fill the tank. Within minutes of filling the tank I heard a gurgling noise when I would make a right hand turn. I drove the vehicle home, since it was late at night and parked it.
