Engine overheating, also the turn signals are erratic, when they do not work i have to turn my emergency flashers on, then off, and the turn signals work then. As far as the overheating goes, i took it in for repair (over $350.00) they said they found water in the oil and replaced head gasket. It still is not fixed. This car has 45,000 miles.
