I was recently devistated when I came home from work parked my car with no fault, and then half an hour later tried starting it..to no sucess. It turned over and started for a second and stalled out..i thought it was the battery, but i just replaced it 6months prior. I could start my car and when i did it stalled. Took it to a dealership where they told me I had a faulty head gaskett, and my engine overheatted and needed a new engine $3000. How can i have no apparent warning signs? I did regular oil changes, maintence.? Im devistated..Took it for a second opinion and they said it was my temperature switch..replaced it..ran fine for a week, but im completely parnoid to drive it. I checked my engine, my coolant ect..and I noticed that my coolant is low..close to min..and well, i know for a fact that it was full when i left the garage. Although i dont see any physical evidence under my car that my coolant is leaking..i know its low. My engine didnt start I drove it from work 20mins and when i tried to start it it just kept stalling out..no smoke, no "dash lights", just no warning..? Soo confused..
