marshakay, you can be comforted by the fact that you aren't the only one whose had that problem. My car started overheating one day at lunch-time. I had headed home to eat lunch, but stopped when I noticed the "idiot light" on the dash -- the car was hot. I immediately pulled into a "service station". This guy came running out and asked me what's the matter, what's the matter -- I told him the car was overheating. He wanted me to pull the hood release, which I did. He went to the windshield washer reservoir and said, "It shouldn't be running hot, it's got plenty of fluild. Now, I'm a mechanic's daughter, so I told him that if he didn't know any more about the car than that, I'd just close the hood and go home, thank you very much.!
