AC blows warm and engine shuts off quietly while driving! The dashboard lights are very dim at night. Some overheating. The only warning lights that show are battery light for a second and check engine light.
What should I do? Is it bad and expensive or tune-up and a repair? Plus car has never had a tune up. Please help!
