Hi. I brought a used ford countour in February.Since then I've been having trouble with the car. This past weekend I was driving and my car was making a grinding noise so my brother told me to add some transmissioon oil to the so we did that. Then as I was on my way home on interstae 95 my car stalled on the exit ramp and would not start back up. I had the heat on than it began to blow out cold air before it went off. It also wasn't running right I was going about 80mi. As the car died it began to smoke and later on the next day I checked the fluids and I didn't have any antifreeze so I added antifreeze today and it still not working. What do I do? or what can be the problem?
