Car keeps saying overheating, but the temp gauge is reading normal, anywhere between 230-240f. I can't drive the car because the car just stall. Don't know whats wrong with it. Does anyone have any problem with this previously? Nothing is leaking or anything, and the fan comes on really loud.

if your under warranty i'd say bring it to the dealer and have them deal with it..

That temp gauge isn't a coolant temp gauge. It's an oil temp gauge assuming you have a 335. Check your coolant level.

My coolant level was fine when I opened it up, and I filled it back up and it still persist. I dont my jb4 out and called the tow-assistant to come get the car. Am I fine doing this or should I have check to see if there were any codes.

best thing to do if you want to rule out it being the water pump failed, is perform the cooling system air bleeding procedure, if you look on here you'll see a diy, go thru the procedure, and stand near the engine and listen for the water pump working, its either going to work, not work, or make some seriously out of the "norm" sounds as it cycles
