Check engine light came on, and within 10 miles the car overheated, engine gaskets blew, transmission overheated and started smoking. Power steering was lost, and had to coast to the side of the road. I was an hour from home, and the icing on the cake was waiting 5 hours for a tow truck because no one was willing to take me in the cabin due to covid. 3 different tow companies cancelled on me after I waited an hour for them. I got the repair bill for $14,119 to replace engine and radiator, which obviously totaled the car.
