Consumer Description

I was driving on the highway and all of the sudden the temperature gauge maxed out and the console said engine overheating. I pulled off to the side and as soon as I put the car in park, the gauge returned to normal. The coolant reservoir was full and the radiator was not unreasonably hot. The check engine light came on at the beginning and went away as soon as I pulled off. I do not know what caused this problem, but it has not been recreated since then.
