Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: One day while driving, i noticed that my engine was overheating. before i could pull over the needle went back down indicating that the engine was not overheating. i proceeded to drive. then my car just stopped picking up speed. the next thing i knew was that my car just wouldn't not move any faster than 5mph. luckily the cars behind me were not traveling at great speeds. this allowed to pull over to the side of the highway and wait for a tow truck. my car had shut down. i took it to a mechanic where they told me that the timing belt, water pump and rear head gasket all needed repairing.
