Stated having coolant issues in 2023. September 2025 Engine light Started blinking and Started running rough at 65 mph.

Eventually dying at a stop light and I couldn't get it to fire back up. Ended up needing a tow since it wouldn't stay running. White smoke coming from tailpipe. Cracked cylinder head. $3000 repair with a USED PART.
