While sitting in stop[ and go traffic a warning is issued that the engine is overheating! I turn on the heater while driving and the notice goes off! when I approach the car the rear tailgate door opens and at times I can't lock the doors after parking the car! some times a notice of oil pressure is low while driving!.
This vehicle has an internal water (coolant) pump that failed with no warning or indications of any type. When the pump fails the engine overheats rapidly and the engine shuts down and locks up. At the time of the failure, I was driving at highway speed and was forced to pull over immediately, fortunately traffic was light, or this could have caused a serious and catastrophic accident.
