So we had a winter storm a couple day ago and when I turned on my car, it made a weird noise. I then tried again and it did start. So I drove it to work but when I got to work it turned off on me when I was trying to park. I turned it back on to try to park correctly. It turned on after 3 or 4 tries and I parked it and turned it off. An hour later I tried to turn it on because they sent everyone home and it turned on but kept wanting to shut off. However, when I was down the street from my house my car started overheating and it has been doing that ever since. I’m not sure what to do from here. Help please.
