Radiator problem #1

We left the hotel in daytona beach and stopped for breakfast. We then were going to see the racetrack ,after going about 3 miles the "engine cooloant overheating" light came on. I immediatly pulled into a napa store and checked the coolant level which was normal. I changed the thermostat which didn't help so I changed the waterpump which didn't help. I had the car towed to a garage. On Monday the mechanic had pulled one head and the valves were warped. After discussing my options I had a new engine installed along with a radiator. The overheating happened so fast (3 miles ),there was no warning other than engine coolant overheating. There was no steam from the overfow so there must have been blockage in the motor. (my opinion).

Car Stall problem #2

Stability system indicator/traction active/traction control indicator come on when making left hand turn sometimes vehicle stalls when accelerator is pressed and "traction active" will illuminate on the dic. Dealer stated that it was a "wheel hub sensor". Replaced left wheel hub assembly, still have same issue. In work on replacing right hand wheel hub assembly to see if this corrects issue, but by the look of some of the other responses it will not. Need a recall if this is happening, possible life threatening situation if car stalls when turning through oncoming traffic.
