Consumer Description

MY WIFE'S 2007 CHEVY IMPALA LEFT HER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN A SNOWSTORM. SHE WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, HER OVERHEAT WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, AND WHAT SHE DESCRIBED AS "A HUGE CLOUD OF FOG OR SMOKE" WAS TRAILING BEHIND HER. SHE IMMEDIATELY PUT ON HER HAZARDS AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE STOPPED, THE DIGITAL READOUT SHOWED "ENGINE OVERHEAT, IDLE ENGINE" AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE IS AT A DEALER AWAITING DIAGNOSIS.
