While driving the car, i lost power and had to pull over, upon checking under the hood, we came to the conclusion that the intake manifold (which is plastic) got to hot which caused antifreeze to leak out. I ended up having to have it towed to my house which is where it has set since.
This happens at any speed:while driving down the road it will shut off numerous times, you have to let it sit for a few minutes and then start it back up, this will happen numerous times while driving it.also, if you don't drive it for 2 days, it will run the battery dead.
