Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The a/c quite working while driving, once it was parked it turned cool for a minute or two then went hot again. we took it for a/c check, all was fine for about 5 miles then it went hot again. the next day took it to the dealer, just before we got there the temp gauge came on. the dealer found the water pump, thermostat, and timing belt needed to be replaced due to overheating. the problem is the light didn't come until the damage was already done. *nm
