I was driving across town when I noticed my engine was overheating. I was right down the street from my mechanic, so I stopped there. What was left of my coolant emptied out onto the ground as a I watched. My coolant intake gaskethad given out. The repair guy told me after he fixed it that it had virtually disappeared at some places. He also called me at some point to inform me that my fuel line had given out and was leaking. Thankfully the shop was able to fix everything quickly, as I use my car for commuting to college and work.
When driving at highway speed vehicle stalled. After stopping for a few minutes vehicle started up again. Dealer had the vehicle on a diagnostic machine, and even then nothing could be detected as to why this was happening. The problem occurred intermittently.
