Car started over heating as I was driving in the city as soon as I turned the air conditioning on it started throwing hot air from vents then the over heating symbol came on and then it started to flash a check engine light and engine started to slow down I had to stop and open the hood and let the engine cool down then it flashed code 84 and then it started to over heat again.
While driving home, the vehicle started to smoke. The windows were rolled down, the air conditioner was off and it is about 86 degrees outside. This isn't the first quirky incident to happen in this vehicle. I just bought it about 7 months ago. All the standard maintenance has been done to this vehicle. Not sure why it is smoking. After it being in our care for 4 months, the check engine light will also not go off, and the remote start doesn't work anymore. The driver side door has become loose as well. No one has been hanging on it, just simply opening and closing the door. Also the plastic cap on the shift has popped off. I will be getting it checked tomorrow and possibly getting rid of it sooner than later. This is a very poor gm model car.
The air conditioner makes a horrible squealing noise. It does this like clockwork every 30 seconds while running the ac on 2 or above. It is so loud even with the radio on you heaer it going down the road. It started right after I hit 2000 miles on the car and about a month after buying it. It condinues to do it a year later and I have taken it to the dealer 8 times, the say it is normal.
