Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When i drove my car to work it seemed fine. when i got into the car after work i idled really rough i thought it was the more expensive gas i put into it the night before, so i proceeded to the gas station to let them know. the car drove really rough all the way there. a red light came on on the dash just before i got to the gas station saying check gauges. the gauge showed that the car overheated. after having my car worked on about eight months ago for a overheating problem, it had been running really cool, so didn't think i would have a overheating problem. i turned off the car, but thought i would check to make sure the fan worked i turned the car back on and out of the tail pipe came a cloud of white smoke that disapated really fast after turning off engine. checked oil there was no water in it, but it was low . i added a quart in order to get it home. it still had white smoke or steam coming out the tail pipe. also the seats do not lock into place. the airconditioner does not get cold. i would like to know if there is anything else that i should be aware of that i need to have fixed.
